Meet Marriott Golf Links. This new golfer loyalty program just unveiled by Marriott lets Marriott Rewards members earn and redeem points for ... golf! Members can rack up 10 Marriott Rewards points for every dollar spent on rounds of golf and golf retail merchandise purchases.

In the spirit of earn and burn, as soon as you've tallied your points you can redeem them for, what else? More rounds of golf, plus hotel accommodations, spa experiences, golf instruction, and more. ]]> travelingmcmahans 2008-09-05T10:00:22-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/7/1/105818/3295 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/marriottrewards2.png" class="imgborder"><p>While it's not quite a cash-back incentive for travelers who have to pay the new checked baggage fees, Marriott's loyalty program, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/marriott%20rewards"><b>Marriott Rewards</b></a> has teamed up with <a href="https://www.theluggageclub.com/">The Luggage Club</a> to allow its members to use their points to ship luggage.<blockquote><p> Travelers' baggage can be picked up at their home, office or location of choice and delivered to their final travel destination, and returned again at the end of their trip. Plus, The Luggage Club has no limits on size, weight or number of pieces that can be shipped.</blockquote></p><p>The Luggage Club however is not cheap. We checked rates to ship a 70lb upright bag from LA to NJ and the cheapest rate was about $245. juliana 2008-07-01T11:04:00-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
