This hotel rewards program is a secret hack for buying hard-to-get concert tickets

Concert dreams crushed by that 2000+ Tickemaster queue? This hotel loyalty program includes a hack to help nab sold out or hard-to-get tickets. Marriott’s loyalty program, Marriott Bonvoy,

offers access to concerts and festivals put on by everyone from Drake and boygenius to the Jonas Brothers and Sam Smith. Like most similar programs, members earn points with each hotel stay

that can be applied for discounts on future stays. But a component from Marriott Bonvoy called Moments means members can also use those points on events and experience Current examples of

packages up for grabs include Eagles and Billy Joel concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City from the Bonvoy Luxury Suite, plus sports events like the U.S. Grand Prix and on-field

experiences and seats at NFL games. However, you likely won't find the cheapest tickets this way, as many are in suites and special sections. Though not all concerts will be listed by

the name of the performer (some of the more high-profile artists do not have their names attached to the package), users can use a work-around by searching the name of the venue and the date

included to ID any unnamed artists. Concerts aside, travelers can also put their points to good use with other Moments, including retreats in Greece, a golf tournament and lesson with a PGA

Tour golfer in India, private dinners with Michelin-starred chefs and a trip to Oktoberfest in Germany. There's also a Tours & Activities platform offering smaller, localized

activities through which members can buy packages, then earn points. Marriott Bonvoy includes 31 hotel brands like Moxy, AC Hotels, Ritz Carlton and Edition, a total of 8,600 hotels

worldwide. (Marriott International was recently named one of PEOPLE's 2023 Companies that Care.) Points can also be earned by riding with Uber dining at restaurants that are part of

their Eat Around Town program and booking rental cars at Hertz. The program also has 35 airline partners, including United Airlines, which lets members transfer points into their Frequent

Flyer accounts. MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL MADE PEOPLE'S ANNUAL 100 COMPANIES THAT CARE LIST IN 2023. TO NOMINATE A BUSINESS DEMONSTRATING OUTSTANDING RESPECT FOR ITS EMPLOYEES, COMMUNITY
