Report to Marriott
Last updated September 18, 2026
The short answer
Report unauthorized Marriott Bonvoy activity and fake booking sites
Marriott Bonvoy points are worth money, which makes the accounts worth stealing. Marriott runs a help article specifically for unauthorized Bonvoy activity, and its Customer Care team is staffed around the clock.
What they handle
- Unauthorized activity or point redemptions on a Bonvoy account
- Fake booking sites and phone numbers using the Marriott name
- Calls claiming to be a Marriott property asking for card details
- Fake Marriott job offers and recruitment approaches
How to file a report
- 1
Report the unauthorized activity
Marriott keeps a help article for reporting unauthorized Marriott Bonvoy account activity. Start there if points or bookings have moved without you.
- 2
Call Customer Care
The Marriott International Customer Care team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- 3
Book only through Marriott or the hotel itself
Fake booking sites and lookalike phone numbers are the usual route in. Type marriott.com yourself rather than following a search advert.
- 4
Treat any Marriott job offer with suspicion
Marriott has issued statements about recruitment scams, where someone falsely claims to be recruiting for Marriott. Check the offer against Marriott's own careers site.
What you'll need
- Your Bonvoy membership number
- The confirmation number of any booking in question
- The site or number you booked through
What to expect
Marriott can act on the account and the booking. A payment made to a fake booking site never reached Marriott, so that recovery is a card dispute.
Frequently asked questions
The hotel called and asked to re-take my card details. Is that normal?
Treat it as not normal. It is a common approach that uses the real booking details from a compromised system. Hang up and call the hotel on the number from marriott.com.
