Prior to this, the Loyalty Program operated as a unified program under three names: Marriott Rewards® Program, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards Program, and the Starwood Preferred Guest® Program (the “SPG Program”) (each a “Legacy Program”). These Legacy Programs were operated by Marriott International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Marriott Rewards, LLC and Preferred Guest, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”). The Loyalty Program operates under the terms and conditions as set out below unless otherwise expressly stated (the “Program Rules”). The Program Rules hereby incorporate the additional Managed Associate Rules that shall apply to employees of the Company and to associates working at Company owned, leased, licensed and managed locations. The Managed Associate Rules do not apply to employees of Company franchisees, licensees and owners of Company managed properties. The Program Rules govern the Company’s relationship with members of the Loyalty Program (collectively, “Loyalty Program Members,” and individually, a “Loyalty Program Member,” “Member,” or “you”), including how Members manage their accounts, book reservations, achieve elite status, earn and redeem Loyalty Program points (“Points”) with participating hotels and properties (each a “Participating Property”), as well as with third party programs which have a business relationship with the Loyalty Program such as airline frequent flyer programs (“Partner Programs”). The Program Rules incorporate the additional terms that apply to certain experiences or properties which participate in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program in a limited or unique capacity – including All-Inclusive by Marriott Bonvoy and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Specific Loyalty Program benefits, amenities, offers, awards and services may not be available at or as part of such experiences or properties, even though the applicable experience or property is not explicitly identified as being excluded where the benefit, amenity, offer, award or service is described in these Program Rules. Please refer to the Supplemental Terms page to view the separate terms governing the participation in the Loyalty Program by the applicable experience or property for information on what features of the Loyalty Program are available. By opening a Loyalty Program membership account (“Account” or “Membership Account”), or by using either your membership card or the Membership Account number you were assigned (“Membership Number”) to receive and redeem benefits of the Loyalty Program, including, without limitation, Loyalty Program Points, you agree that: * you have read and accept these Program Rules; and you have read and accept the Website Terms of Use which are incorporated by reference herein; and * you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal data by the Company, the Loyalty Program, Participating Properties and Partner Programs, and their authorized third-party agents and licensees in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Statement. All Loyalty Program benefits, amenities, offers, awards and services are subject to availability and may be changed by the Company at any time without notice. The Company may terminate the Loyalty Program, in whole or in part, with six (6) months' advance notice to all active Loyalty Members and with less than six months' notice in any jurisdiction if required to do so by applicable law. At the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may choose to substitute a similar loyalty program for the Loyalty Program at any time immediately upon notice to active Loyalty Members. If the Loyalty Program is terminated, all unredeemed Points will be forfeited without any obligation or liability, and no Award claims will be honored after the conclusion of the notice period. These Program Rules supersede all previous terms and conditions applicable to the Legacy Programs or Loyalty Program. Except as otherwise expressly prohibited or limited by applicable laws, Company may at any time amend, modify or supplement these Program Rules, the structure for earning and redeeming Awards (as defined below), with or without notice, even though such changes may affect the value of Points or Miles, or the ability to obtain certain Awards (collectively “Program Rule Changes”). “Awards” means any and all awards earned by Members in connection with the Loyalty Program, including without limitation Award Redemptions (as defined in Section 3.1). Loyalty Members are responsible for remaining knowledgeable of the Program Rules and any Program Rule Changes.

Once Points have been redeemed for Miles with a participating airline frequent flyer program or other airline-affiliated loyalty program, Miles will automatically be transferred to the Member’s frequent flyer or airline-affiliated loyalty program account.

Earning Lifetime Elite Status i. In order to obtain Lifetime Elite Status, a Member must meet the below Lifetime Elite Status Criteria (4.2.f.) during the Member’s participation in the Loyalty Program. An “Eligible Status Year” is a calendar year during which a Member obtained Elite membership status (Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, or Ambassador Elite) by achieving the Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, or Ambassador Elite Minimum Requirement. The calendar year in which a Member achieves Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, Titanium Elite, or Ambassador Elite Status, as described in the prior sentence, will count as an Eligible Status Year, in addition to each subsequent year that such Member retains the benefits of Elite membership Status. For example, if a Member meets the Gold Elite Minimum Requirement during the 2022 Eligible Status Year by earning twenty-five (25) Eligible Nights and becomes a Gold Elite Member for the remainder of 2022 and for all of 2023, 2022 and 2023 will each count as separate Eligible Status Years. ii. The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not a Member has met the requirements to achieve Lifetime Elite Status. Once a Member achieves Lifetime Elite Status as described in 4.2.b, the Member is not subject to meeting the Elite Tier’s Minimum Requirement in any subsequent Eligible Status Year in order to remain an Elite Member unless the Elite Member’s Account was cancelled. iii. Lifetime Elite Status only provides a Member with Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, or Titanium Elite status and protection against the forfeiture of Points even if the Lifetime Elite Member is inactive. It does not prevent the Company from suspending Lifetime Elite Status or cancelling a Member’s Account. Lifetime Elite Members will receive the benefits of Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, or Titanium Elite Members, which are subject to change from time to time as described in section 4.1. 4.2.f.
