"I love my regular morning cup of Starbucks coffee, and find I
enjoy it even more when traveling. So, Marriott Bonvoy's
collaboration with Starbucks makes perfect sense," said
David Flueck, Global Head of
Loyalty, Cards & Enterprise Partnerships, Marriott
International. "We will truly satisfy our members' passions for
coffee and travel with the opportunity to earn more points and
Stars while traveling and at home, and later this year by bringing
those passions together when we introduce exclusive coffee- and
travel-themed experiences on Marriott Bonvoy Moments."
"Marriott Bonvoy's commitment to enriching moments for their
customers aligns with Starbucks customer promise to uplift the
everyday, making them the perfect loyalty partner," said
Kyndra Russell, Senior Vice
President, North America Chief
Marketing Officer, Starbucks. "We're continuing to develop our
Starbucks Rewards program, and through this new collaboration,
we are excited to offer members even more value and enhanced
benefits through travel experiences."
To celebrate the new loyalty collaboration, Marriott Bonvoy
will launch a sweepstakes exclusively available to Starbucks
Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy members with linked accounts. The
sweepstakes will offer linked members an opportunity to enter to
win a range of prizes, including a Grand Prize trip to visit each
