The recognition comes as part of the 2026 The Points Guy Awards, which honor excellence across travel, credit cards, airlines, hotels, cruise lines, and loyalty programs.
In addition to the top loyalty award, Marriott Bonvoy’s expanding global portfolio was further celebrated with W Punta Cana, Adult All-Inclusive winning Best New All-Inclusive Points Hotel.
