Marriott Releases October 2025 Updates to Bonvoy Terms and Conditions
Marriott continues to update the Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) of its Bonvoy guest loyalty program on a monthly basis. The latest changes, effective October 2025, primarily concern the introduction of the new Series by Marriott brand and the launch of the latest Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy, which includes Trailborn and Postcard Cabins.
### Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
The Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy now features participating properties such as Trailborn and Postcard Cabins.
**Trailborn Properties**
Trailborn Properties allow Members to earn Points or Miles for reservations booked through Marriott Channels as well as through Trailborn-specific channels, including the Trailborn support team or the individual Trailborn Property. For reservations made via Trailborn channels, Members must contact the Trailborn support team or the Trailborn Property directly to ensure their Marriott Bonvoy Account Number is added to the reservation prior to check-in.
Please note, all Award Redemption Stays at Trailborn Properties must be booked through official Marriott Channels to qualify.
**Postcard Cabins**
All Postcard Cabins locations are part of the Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy.
In summary, if you book a Trailborn Property through Trailborn and not Marriott, be sure to contact Trailborn support to include your Marriott Bonvoy number before your stay in order to earn Points and qualifying nights.
### Series by Marriott
All Series by Marriott properties fully participate in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program.
### mycitizenM+ Program
**Overview:**
mycitizenM+ is an annual subscription-based marketing program offering exclusive perks and savings valid only at citizenM hotels. Subscribers (mycitizenM+ Subscribers) must enroll in the Marriott Bonvoy Loyalty Program and link their mycitizenM+ subscription to their Membership Account.
**Points & Benefits:**
The mycitizenM+ program itself does not provide separate points-based offers. Subscribers may only earn and redeem Points within the standard Loyalty Program. When staying at citizenM hotels, mycitizenM+ Subscribers can earn Loyalty Program Points or Miles and enjoy exclusive benefits from both mycitizenM+ and Marriott Bonvoy. These benefits include dining discounts, discounted retail rates for direct bookings, and discounts on meeting rooms.
Loyalty Program Members who stay at citizenM hotels but do not have a mycitizenM+ subscription are not eligible for these additional benefits.
**Elite Status:**
Upon purchasing a mycitizenM+ subscription and linking it to their Loyalty Program account, Subscribers will be granted Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite Status, which remains active as long as the subscription is maintained. If the Subscriber already holds Gold Elite Status or higher, they will retain their higher status.
The standard Loyalty Program benefits will apply according to the member’s tier, as outlined in the program rules. MycitizenM+ Subscribers are subject to the terms and conditions of both mycitizenM+ and the Marriott Bonvoy Loyalty Program.
