Starbucks and Marriott have a new partnership. When you link your Starbucks and Marriott Bonvoy accounts you get:

  • 100 Marriott Bonvoy Points when. you make 3 purchases during Marriott Bonvoy Week
  • Double Stars when stay in at a Marriott Hotel

This isn’t as rewarding as the Delta Partnership when it first launched but something is better than nothing.
