As I mentioned recently, Marriott points aren’t worth very much considering the many thousands of points required to stay a night at even their low-level properties.

Still, 500 points for one minute of my time is completely worth it.

Marriott did send me a tempting credit card offer recently, but it still wasn’t quite enough to lure me in.

Check out Marriott’s current effort at getting more Instagram followers:

If you don’t have an Instagram account, it looks like you can still enter your email address for the free points without following their Instagram. If you don’t have a Marriott account, you can sign up for one for free.

This promotion ends June 21.

Not worth your time? Don’t blame me next time you’re 500 points short of your dream hotel stay!
