 TITLE: Marriott’s New Rewards Program: What You Need to Know CONTENT: Combining Your Rewards Accounts\n-------------------------------\nYou may be one of millions of travelers who have accounts with Marriott Rewards and Starwood, or with Ritz-Carlton Rewards and Starwood (previously you couldn't have had both a Marriott Rewards and a Ritz-Carlton Rewards account at the same time). Before Bonvoy, it was possible to link your Marriott or Ritz-Carlton Rewards account to your Starwood account. This was convenient, as it would allow you transfer points between these programs so you could utilize either one.\nWith the new Bonvoy program, you'll need to go to Marriott's account merge page to request to combine accounts. Once you combine your accounts, you'll conveniently have a single login, and your elite night stay credits will be combined. Plus, you'll be able to book hotels and redeem points at a tremendous number of hotels—a total of more than 6,700 properties around the world. END
