What a The Ritz Carlton gift card gets you
A Ritz-Carlton gift card applies to room nights, dining, spa, and golf at Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts worldwide, and because the brand sits inside Marriott, the cards generally redeem across the wider Marriott Bonvoy portfolio too — St. Regis, JW Marriott, W Hotels, and more. They settle in the property's local currency, so a card bought in dollars converts at the prevailing rate when used abroad, and they apply to the room and tax but not always to third-party charges billed to the room. No activation or dormancy fees apply.
one format:
- E-gift card: Emailed within minutes, presented at booking or check-in. $25 to $2,000 via Dyme, with preset amounts of $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, and $200.
More than one Ritz-Carlton or Marriott gift card can be applied to a single folio at checkout, useful when several people pool toward one stay.
Where to buy: three channels compared
| Channel | Format | Denominations | Delivery | Discount | Adds on top |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for MilesDyme | E-gift only | $25 – $2,000 | Instant | None | Dyme Miles + instant paperless delivery |
| Marriott / Ritz-Carlton direct | Physical + e-gift | Varies | Instant / mailed | None | Bonvoy points on the stay |
| Authorized travel gift-card platforms | Digital code | Varies | Instant | Occasional reseller discount | Platform-specific rewards if any |
Marriott rarely discounts its own cards. Reseller pricing rotates. Verify before you buy.
Can I get a The Ritz Carlton gift card at a discount?
Yes, but it's narrow, and not through Dyme. Dyme sells Ritz-Carlton e-gift cards at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles, paperless delivery, and supporting renewable energy projects, not a face-value discount. The discount-adjacent channels are:
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Marriott and Ritz-Carlton cards appear on resale sites, sometimes a few percent below face. Verify the balance before redeeming, since secondary listings can carry partial balances.
- Marriott Bonvoy points on the stay. Not a discount on the card, but Bonvoy members earn points on the eligible stay funded by the card, which lowers the real cost of a future booking. Ritz-Carlton stays earn at the brand's Bonvoy rate.
- Marriott seasonal and member rates. Marriott runs member rates and promotions on direct bookings, but gift-card SKUs themselves are typically excluded from those promotions.
On top of any discount, the rewards stack below adds your credit card, Marriott Bonvoy on the stay, and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Most buyers leave that money on the table.
How to stack rewards
Three rewards programs fire on a single Ritz-Carlton 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: about 10 base points per $1 USD on eligible Ritz-Carlton stays (more with elite status)
- Reward threshold: points redeem for free nights on a property-specific award chart
Bonvoy points accrue on the eligible stay when you redeem the card, not on the gift-card purchase, at the same rate as paying with cash or credit. Elite members earn bonus points on top.
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
$500 Ritz-Carlton e-gift on Dyme, paid with Citi Double Cash, redeemed by a Bonvoy member
- Citi Double Cash: $10 back (2% of $500)
- Marriott Bonvoy on the stay: Base points on the eligible night, plus any elite bonus
- Dyme Miles on the purchase: 500 Miles (1 per dollar), or 2,500 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 through Marriott / Ritz-Carlton
- Open the gift-card section on the Ritz-Carlton or Marriott Bonvoy site.
- Choose physical or e-gift and set the amount, then enter the recipient's details.
- Check out. Marriott does not run a member discount on gift cards, and Bonvoy points accrue on the stay, not the card purchase.
Designs and personalization
Ritz-Carlton e-gift cards use the brand's understated card art, with occasional seasonal designs around the holidays.
You can add a personal message at checkout. The recipient sees your name and message on the delivery email.
Physical cards are available through Marriott's direct channel. For volume orders, see corporate ordering below.
Delivery and timing
- E-gift via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email. The recipient presents the card at booking or check-in.
- E-gift via Marriott / Ritz-Carlton: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Physical via Marriott: Mailed; typically 5 to 10 business days.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. For a physical card, Marriott's direct channel is the path.
Corporate and bulk buying
Marriott runs a corporate and incentive gift-card program covering Ritz-Carlton and the wider Bonvoy portfolio, with bulk ordering, custom amounts, and invoicing for employee rewards and client gifts. Contact the Marriott business or gift-card team to start an order.
