What a Marriott gift card gets you
A Marriott gift card is not just a room-rate credit — it settles the whole folio at most properties, so it covers restaurant and bar tabs, spa treatments, golf, and resort fees charged to the room. The same card works across the full brand range, from Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis down to Courtyard and Fairfield. There are no activation or per-use fees, and the balance is never cut by dormancy charges.
two formats:
- Physical card: Mailed in a gift sleeve. $25 to $1,000 per card via the Marriott gift-card site.
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, redeemed at booking or checkout. $25 to $2,000 via Marriott; $25 to $200 via Dyme.
Multiple Marriott gift cards can be applied to one stay; the front desk or booking flow combines them. There is no published cap on how many you redeem against a single folio.

Costco and Sam's Club regularly sell discounted Marriott multi-packs, but pricing and stock rotate by location and season. Verify before you buy.
Can I get a Marriott gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Marriott e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and paperless delivery. The discount channels are:
- Costco or Sam's Club. Marriott multi-packs (for example a $500 value for around $450) appear regularly at warehouse clubs. This is the most reliable face-value discount. Physical only, membership required.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Marriott cards usually list a few percent below face. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary listings occasionally carry partial balances.
- Marriott and Bonvoy promotions. Marriott periodically runs bonus-value gift-card sales (e.g. a $50 bonus card with a larger purchase). The bonus is a separate card, not a markdown on the original.
The added return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card, Bonvoy points on the eligible folio at redemption, and Dyme Miles on the purchase.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Marriott gift card purchase through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
- Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
- Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)
- Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and 2x travel do not apply
Marriott Bonvoy
- Join cost: free
- Applies at: redemption
- Earning rate: typically 10 base points per $1 on eligible hotel spend, more with elite status or a Bonvoy card
- Reward threshold: points redeem for free nights, with award rates varying by property
Bonvoy earns on the eligible folio you settle when you redeem the card, not on the gift-card purchase. A gift card used at checkout still counts as eligible spend toward points and elite-night credit at most properties.
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar
- Expiration: never
- Blackouts: none
- Redeem on: over 2 million hotels and 600 airline partners
$200 Marriott e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, settled by a Bonvoy member
- Citi Double Cash: $4 back (2% of $200)
- Marriott Bonvoy at redemption: Base points on the eligible folio settled with the card, plus elite-night credit at most properties
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 200 Miles (1 per dollar), or 1,000 on a special offer (5 per dollar)
Illustrative only. Card rates, brand-program terms, and Dyme Miles offers change and vary by member; figures above are examples, not a guarantee of value.

How to buy on the Marriott gift-card site
- Go to marriott.com/gift-cards/buy-gift-cards.mi.
- Choose physical or e-gift, pick a design and an amount, and add a recipient message.
- Check out. Marriott does not run a member discount on gift cards, though Bonvoy points still earn on the eligible folio when the card is redeemed.
How to buy in store
Most Marriott properties can sell you a physical gift card at the front desk. Denominations and availability vary by hotel, so call ahead if you need a specific amount. This is also the route if you want to collect the card in person before gifting.
How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Costco and Sam's Club regularly stock discounted Marriott multi-packs — often the best face-value deal available. Supermarket gift-card racks at Kroger, Safeway, and Albertsons carry $50 and $100 Marriott cards at face value; you pay no discount but earn the store's loyalty points and any fuel rewards on gift-card spend.
Designs and personalization
Physical cards: several Marriott designs in the online catalog, including seasonal and travel-themed art. A gift sleeve and a printed message are available at checkout.
E-gift cards: multiple designs with a customizable subject line and recipient message.
For volume orders, custom and co-branded options are available through the corporate program below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. Add to Apple Wallet or Google Pay from the email.
- E-gift via Marriott: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical via Marriott: 5 to 10 business days standard. Expedited options at checkout.
- Physical at a hotel or retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. For a card in hand, the Marriott site, a front desk, or a warehouse club is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
Marriott runs a corporate and incentive gift-card program for bulk orders, with volume pricing, custom denominations, and co-branded designs for employee rewards and client gifting. Contact the Marriott corporate gift-card team to set up an order.
