If you have friends or family you’d like to entertain for free by taking them to a nice place – but you don’t want to pay for the hotel then you’ve come to the right place. Its easy! Get a credit card like the Marriott Rewards Card that offers 30,000 points or 50,000 points depending on which card you choose. First year annual fee is waived so you’re not paying any out-of-pocket costs.

When you get the card just make a purchase and the points will be credited to your account in a few weeks. Then go ahead and book a hotel. Category 1 and Category 2 hotels are 7500 points and 10000 points respectively so you can get a room for yourself and 2 more rooms for friends and family. If you just want a room for your family, then splurge on the Category 3 or 4 hotel.

As of right now, Marriott even gives you an additional certificate that is valid for a one-night stay at any Category 1-4 hotel.

Keep your eye out for these hotel credit cards. They’re a great free way to get a vacation!
