Marriott Bonvoy has teamed up with Africa’s largest airline Ethiopian Airlines.
The new partnership offers more opportunities for members to earn and redeem points for both hotel stays and flights.
Eligible members of Marriott Bonvoy and ShebaMiles, Ethiopian Airlines’ loyalty program, can convert ShebaMiles into Marriott Bonvoy points for hotel stays and upgrades and Marriott Bonvoy points to ShebaMiles to book flights.
Members can also choose whether to earn Marriott Bonvoy points or ShebaMiles when staying at Marriott affiliated properties.
Ethiopian Airlines’ network serves more than 145 destinations and Marriott’s 30-brand portfolio spans 10,000 destinations globally.
“This partnership reflects our continued commitment to deliver the most rewarding travel experiences for our members,” said Andrew Watson, Chief Commercial Officer for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.
Ethiopian Airlines is also a Star Alliance member.
ShebaMiles members can convert miles to Marriott Bonvoy points at a 2:1 ratio, while Marriott Bonvoy members can convert points to ShebaMiles at a 3:1 ratio.
They will receive 5,000 bonus ShebaMiles for every 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points transferred in a single transaction.
On eligible stays at Marriott properties, members can earn up to two miles per US dollar spent or choose to earn Marriott Bonvoy points as normal.
