Marriott has released updates to the Terms and Conditions of its Bonvoy guest loyalty program for October 2025. These updates primarily focus on the inclusion of the new Series by Marriott brand and the launch of the latest Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy, which features Trailborn and Postcard Cabins.
### Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
The Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy™ now includes 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, the Trailborn support team, or directly with the Trailborn property (each referred to as a Trailborn Channel). It is important that members contact the Trailborn support team or the Trailborn property before check-in to ensure their Marriott Bonvoy account number is added to the reservation. Please note that all Award Redemption stays must be booked through a Marriott channel.
To earn points and qualifying nights when booking a Trailborn property through Trailborn channels rather than Marriott, members must make sure to add their Bonvoy number via Trailborn support before their stay.
**Postcard Cabins:**
All Postcard Cabins locations are part of the Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy and follow similar guidelines as above.
### Series by Marriott
All Series by Marriott properties are now incorporated within the Marriott Bonvoy program as participating hotels.
### mycitizenM+ Program
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 subscription to their membership account to benefit from the program.
Key points about mycitizenM+ include:
– The program does not provide its own points-based offers. Subscribers earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy Points with the Loyalty Program.
– While staying at citizenM hotels, subscribers can earn Loyalty Program Points or Miles and receive benefits from both mycitizenM+ and the Loyalty Program.
