Marriott released a new way to earn while you shop. Marriott Rewards MORE is a shopping app and desktop extension that allows Marriott Rewards members to earn Rewards points when shopping at more than 24 retail sites. Then, you can turn around and use the points you’ve earned to pay for what you’re shopping for, if you so wish.

Brands you can see on the lineup range heavily, from fashion and tech retailers to all-out luxury brands. Buy from Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Anthropologie or Apple. Pick up some household goods at Macy’s, dog food from Petco or mascara from Sephora. You can even shop for luxury Christmas gifts at a discount with The Outnet.

Plus, right now, for the first transaction of $25 or more that you make, you’ll get an additional 1,000 points, and if you pay with your Marriott Rewards credit card, you’ll earn 25 percent more bonus points with each transaction. Additionally, you’re able to combine points and cash to pay for your purchases and a tool bar that appears in the app and in the desktop browser shows how many points you have to spend.

“Just in time for the holiday travel season, Marriott Rewards MORE enhances the entire trip experience for our members,” said David Flueck, senior vice president of global loyalty, Marriott International. “Through MORE, we’ve gathered the retailers and brands members love most, so they [can] check off items on their packing list and be rewarded with points for future use.”

Marriott Rewards MORE is available on Android and through iOS, but only to Rewards members located in the United States, United Kingdom or Canada.
