Marriott Bonvoy has launched a fresh partnership with Outside, the outdoor adventure platform, giving members a new way to rack up points. Starting now, you can earn up to 2,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points for subscribing to Outside+ and collect 50 points for every eligible outdoor activity you track. This move is live as of June 2026 and could add real value for active travelers and points maximizers.

Our Take

Good news for outdoor enthusiasts and Bonvoy collectors. This partnership finally rewards members for healthy, real-world activity—not just hotel stays. While the per-activity bonus is modest (worth about $0.40 per tracked event by our 0.8¢/point estimate), the sign-up bonuses are a nice kicker for new and existing Outside+ subscribers. If you’re already logging hikes or rides, this is easy, free points.

What Changed

New Marriott Bonvoy/Outside partnership launched (June 2026)
14-day free trial of Outside+ Adventure Pass for all
2,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points for first-time Outside+ subscribers
1,000 bonus points for existing Outside+ subscribers
50 bonus points per eligible outdoor activity tracked via Outside+ (worth ~$0.40 each)

Who Benefits Most

Active travelers who regularly hike, bike, or run: Track 20 activities per month and earn 1,000 points monthly (~$8 value), plus up to 2,000 points for subscribing.
New Outside+ subscribers: Get 2,000 bonus points upfront (~$16 value), which is double the bonus for existing subscribers.
Existing Outside+ subscribers: Score 1,000 bonus points (~$8 value) just for linking accounts.
Marriott loyalists maximizing every earning angle: If you’re already earning on stays, this is a new, easy stackable stream.

Who Should Be Cautious

Travelers uninterested in outdoor activities: If you don’t plan to use Outside+, you’ll see little value here.
Points maximizers focused on high-value redemptions: At 50 points (~$0.40) per activity, the effort-to-reward ratio is modest unless you’re already tracking workouts.
Those who dislike sharing activity data: Linking accounts and tracking activity may not appeal to privacy-focused users.
