TRAVEL IS NO LONGER JUST ABOUT THE DESTINATION. Rather, it’s about connecting to people, places and experiences that enrich your life. Chase Card Services and Marriott International understand the importance of pursuing those passions, and launched the new Marriott Rewards® Premier Plus Credit Card to allow cardmembers to experience more.
With the enhanced benefits, cardmembers can expect more rewards value; access to the amazing properties across the Marriott Rewards, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards and Starwood Preferred Guest programs (to be unified under one program this month); and additional travel perks. Cardmembers can receive a 75,000-point new member offer; six points for every $1 spent at participating Marriott Rewards and SPG® hotels; two points on all other purchases; an anniversary free night award valued up to 35,000 points; guaranteed elite status; premium Wi-Fi and more.
To celebrate the exciting launch, Chase and Marriott partnered with travel content creator and curator Theron Humphrey to inspire travelers to find their own passion and purpose. Humphrey is an expert in traveling with man’s best friend, a perfect complement to Marriott’s pet-friendly hotel policy. Humphrey and his dog Maddie have driven all over the United States, documenting their adventures on Instagram.
If your travel passions include bringing your pet along, here’s Humphrey’s tried and true advice for traveling with man’s best friend:
• National forests are a perfect pet-friendly destination, as they get you off the beaten path and into the backcountry.
• There are many resources available to help travelers determine pet-friendly destinations. Many Marriott properties welcome your pets and some even include special guides for pet-friendly things to do in certain cities.
• A few rules for traveling with your pet: Always carry extra bags to clean up messes; bring extra water; and be willing to fix it and make it right if your pet damages anything.
• Doggy travel essentials include a long rope leash; a folding silicone water bowl; and a good credit card, essential to earning points to keep traveling with your pooch.
• Test your animal’s ability to travel with you by taking a weekend trip to a nearby state park or other locale.
• Remember to be respectful of folks who may not love your dog as much as you do.
• Utah, Colorado, California and Arizona all rank as pet-friendly states.
With more than 6,500 properties in 127 different countries and territories and 29 brands, Marriott offers plenty of options for pursuing your travel passions. Learn more about the Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Credit Card at MarriottPremierPlus.com
