Marriott offers mobile incentives

BANGKok Marriott International says it will reward members with more travel benefits following the launch of its mobile app.
The main benefit is queue-free check-in, based on a simple mobile app procedure completed ahead of arrival at the hotel.
Launched Wednesday throughout Asia Pacific, the Marriott Mobile App is available to all reward members at all hotel brands in the group.
The app makes it possible to gain more free room nights or air travel, with extra benefits including free Wi-Fi, mobile management of reservations, dining discounts and room upgrades.
Mobile check-out let members close out the bill without stopping at the front desk and ensures receipt of a digital copy of the folio for future reference or expense reporting.
For a limited period only, and exclusive to the first 100 Marriott Rewards members who check-in with their mobile devices twice up until 4 October, they will get an upgrade to Gold Elite status, giving them even more benefits such as 25% extra Marriott Rewards points for future Marriott stays, complimentary room upgrade and Executive Lounge access and breakfast.
Marriott Rewards is free to join and has no blackout dates, and members can earn and redeem points at more than 3,800 Marriott International hotels around the world and at Marriott Rewards exclusive luxury partner, The Ritz-Carlton.
