2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Marriott
Bonvoy®, Marriott International's award-winning travel
program, and American Express (NYSE: AXP) unveiled changes to the

"The rich, new benefits will help Card Members owning and
working for small businesses stretch their travel dollars much
further and reward them for being a part of the engine that drives
the U.S. economy," said David
Flueck, Senior Vice President, Global Loyalty, Marriott
International. "Hard working Small Business Card Members who spend
many nights traveling for business can now earn points toward
vacations and getaways with family and friends even faster when
staying at participating Marriott Bonvoy® hotels
and using their Card for everyday expenses."
"Small business owners have weathered many challenges over
the past few years, pivoted their strategies, and are now looking
to get back on track with how they run their business," said
Courtney Kelso, Executive Vice

an important decision factor when booking travel, while 78% say
they would extend their trip if they had a discount on rooms.

impacts where they book overnight accommodations when traveling for
business. In addition, a majority (67%) of small business leaders

their next business trip to also get in some personal vacation
