Beyond free stays: Your Loyalty Points could take you inside T20 World Cup

Over 500 exclusive Marriott Bonvoy Moments up for grabs, including the ultimate experience with the Marriott Bonvoy Golden Ticket

Most frequent travellers don’t think twice about loyalty points. They accumulate quietly, sit unused for months, and are eventually redeemed for a free night or an upgrade. But ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, that equation is changing.

 

If You’re a Cricket Fan, This Is What Loyalty Now Looks Like

 

As part of its partnership with the International Cricket Council, Marriott Bonvoy is offering members access to over 500 exclusive experiences tied to the tournament being held across India and Sri Lanka.

 

This isn’t just about match tickets.

 

Think:

 

• Pre-match access to nets and warm-ups
• Premium hospitality suites with food and beverages
• Curated stays at Marriott properties near stadiums
• Behind-the-scenes moments usually reserved for insiders

 

For users who already earn points through work travel or leisure stays, this turns an existing balance into something far more valuable than a discounted room.

 

 

If You Like Big Experiences, There’s One That Stands Out

 

At the top of the list is the Marriott Bonvoy Golden Ticket — an all-inclusive experience built around the tournament finals.

 

For the user, this means:

 

• A trip for two to the finals
• Match tickets with premium hospitality
• Hotel stay, ground transfers, meals and spa access
• Exclusive pre-match field-of-play access

 

Two Golden Tickets will be awarded — one via a global sweepstake, and one to the highest bidder using Marriott Bonvoy points. Even non-members can sign up for free and enter, lowering the barrier to participation.

 

If You’re Travelling With Family, There’s a Different Kind of Access

 

For parents, the offering shifts from luxury to memory-making.

 

The Marriott Bonvoy Anthem Kids Experience allows children aged six to 12 to walk onto the field with players during the national anthem — accompanied by a parent or guardian.

 

If You’re Value-Conscious, Watch the 1-Point Drops

 

Not every experience is designed for high spenders.

 

On February 2, Marriott Bonvoy will release limited 1-Point Drops — pairs of general admission tickets for marquee matches, including India versus Pakistan — redeemable for just one loyalty point.

 

For users, this rewards timing and engagement rather than points balance size, a model that mirrors how digital platforms increasingly allocate high-demand access.

 

Key points to note: 

• Two lucky members will win the ultimate experience with the Marriott Bonvoy Golden Ticket - a trip for two to catch all the action of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Finals in style. 
• One Golden Ticket will go to the highest bidder with Marriott Bonvoy points, and another will go to the winner of a global Marriott Bonvoy sweepstake. 
• Members can also choose to use their Marriott Bonvoy points to bid or redeem for more than 500 Marriott Bonvoy Moments including Matchday Marriott Bonvoy Hospitality Experiences, pre-match Beyond the Boundary experiences or Marriott Bonvoy Anthem Kids Experiences where they can create core memories with their child, walking out to the field with match players during the national anthem segment. 

 

“Marriott Bonvoy is about bringing people closer to what they love most, the places that move them and the moments that matter. Through our global partnership with the ICC, we are going all in to open the door to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in truly unforgettable ways. From front row seats and behind-the-scenes access to premium hospitality, shared experiences between parents and children, and stays across our Marriott Bonvoy portfolio of hotels, we are creating memories that last far beyond the final ball,” said John Toomey, Chief Commercial Officer, Asia Pacific excluding China, Marriott International.

 

Matchday Marriott Bonvoy Hospitality Experience

Several Moments available for members to bid on or redeem with their Marriott Bonvoy points. Experiences include:

A Beyond the Boundary experience with exclusive access to pre-match field of play access where you can watch pre-match nets, warm-ups, and all the build ups from the ropes.

 

• Exclusive access to the premium hospitality suite hosted by ICC and Marriott Bonvoy or a general hospitality suite with gourmet food and drinks.
• A two-night stay at a Marriott Bonvoy portfolio hotel with return ground transportation to and from the hotel and stadium.
