Marriott Bonvoy and Lufthansa’s Miles & More Launch Reciprocal Loyalty Partnership

The structure adds a modest hotel-based boost toward Miles & More status with Marriott Gold granted to Senator and HON Circle members.

Overview

  • Members can link accounts now, earning 40 Miles & More Points toward status for each paid Marriott stay of at least two nights, capped at 120 Points per calendar year.
  • Points from Marriott stays are not treated as Qualifying Points on Lufthansa Group carriers, so required flying totals do not decrease.
  • Miles & More Senator and HON Circle members receive a status match to Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite.
  • Frequent Traveller or non-status members only get Marriott Silver if they hold the Deutsche Bank–issued Miles & More credit card, and the advertised Gold fast-track lacks published details.
  • The arrangement does not grant redeemable Miles & More miles on stays unless members elect to earn miles instead of Bonvoy points, and the 120-Point cap is a small fraction of Miles & More status thresholds.
