😎 Level Up Your Stay: How to Add That Reservation to Your Marriott App Like a Total Boss!
What's the absolute worst feeling? It's when you're all hyped for your next vacay, you know you booked that sweet Marriott room—maybe even a cheeky little upgrade—but you open the Marriott Bonvoy app, and your trip is ghosting you. You’re scanning that “Trips” tab, and it’s emptier than a theme park parking lot on a Tuesday in January. Hard pass on that vibe. You're thinking, "Did I mess up? Is this room even real?" Chill out, my friend. This is a common curveball, and we're about to show you how to be an absolute savage and force that reservation into the app where it belongs. It’s a piece of cake, I promise. No need to go all salty on your phone.
We’re talking major adulting here, folks. Grab your confirmation deets, your phone, and let's get this done, ASAP!
Step 1: The Initial Vibe Check – Why is My Trip MIA?
First things first, we gotta figure out why your reservation decided to play hide-and-seek. It’s usually one of a few basic reasons. This step is like the pre-game warm-up; gotta know your opponent!

1.1 Did You Go the Third-Party Route?
Did you book your stay through one of those big-shot third-party sites—Expedia, Priceline, or some other booking engine? ICYMI (In case you missed it), trips booked through them are sometimes a little shady and don’t automatically link up with your Marriott Bonvoy account. It's not a conspiracy, it's just how the digital cookie crumbles. If this is you, no sweat, the fix is in Step 3!
1.2 The Bonvoy Number Fiasco
Maybe you booked directly with Marriott but were in a rush, or maybe you were just plain vibing and totally forgot to log in or drop your Marriott Bonvoy Member Number onto the reservation. If the reservation confirmation email doesn't have your Bonvoy number plastered all over it, this is probably the tea. Don't worry, we've all been there.
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
Step 2: The Digital Hunt – Finding Your Confirmation Info
Before you try to add the reservation, you need the lit details. Without these, you’re just shouting into the digital void. This is your one-way ticket to making the app behave.
2.1 Your Confirmation Email is the GOAT
Dig through your inbox. Search for emails from "Marriott" or "Marriott Bonvoy." You are looking for a key piece of data: the Confirmation Number. It's usually a string of letters and numbers that looks super important—because it is!
2.2 Know the Key Deets
You’re gonna need to confirm a few things when you add the booking. Make sure you have these handy:
Your Confirmation Number: This is the main character.
The Check-in Date: Day one of your adventure.
The Last Name on the Reservation: Pro tip: If your work booked it for you, this might not be your last name. Double-check who the primary guest is!
Step 3: Operation Link-Up – Adding the Reservation to the App
Alright, time to throw some shade at that empty "Trips" screen and get your booking to show up. This process is generally reserved for bookings made without your Bonvoy number attached, or those rouge reservations you booked before you were a Bonvoy member.
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
3.1 Open the App and Log In
Seriously. Do not skip this part. Launch the Marriott Bonvoy App on your phone. Log in using your member number or email and your super-secret, totally legit password.
3.2 Finding the Secret Door
Once you're logged in, look for the 'Trips' section, usually chilling near the bottom of the screen. Inside, somewhere on that page, you should find a link, a small button, or a hidden text prompt that says something like “Look Up a Reservation,” “Find a Stay,” or perhaps “Add a Reservation.” It might be hiding next to your upcoming or past stays, so squint if you have to!
3.3 The Info Dump
This is where you spill the tea on your booking. The app is going to ask for a few things. Don’t be salty—give it the info!
 |
Enter the Confirmation Number you found in Step 2.
Type in the Check-in Date.
Pop in the Last Name on the reservation.
Hit that final “Find Reservation” or “Add” button. This is the climax, people.
3.4 The Success Vibe
If you put in the correct deets (which you slayed at, naturally), your reservation should now magically appear under your "Upcoming" or "Trips" tab! You just adulted hard. The app will have now officially connected that reservation to your Bonvoy account, which means points, mobile check-in, and all the other dope perks are yours for the taking. Boom!
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
Step 4: Troubleshooting the Buzzkill (If It Still Doesn't Show)
Did you hit the button and nothing happened? Yikes. Did the app throw a total curveball? Don't stress, sometimes the digital world is just having a lame day.
4.1 The Member Number Double-Check
If the reservation still isn't linked, you might need to try adding your Marriott Bonvoy member number to the existing reservation via the full website on a computer, not the app. Log in to your Bonvoy account on a web browser, go to “Trips,” use the "Find Reservation" tool there (using your confirmation number and last name), and then you should see an option to "Edit Guest Information" to manually enter your Bonvoy number. After that, your app should get the memo.
4.2 When in Doubt, Ring it Up
If you've tried everything and the app is still giving you the cold shoulder, it’s time to call the Marriott Bonvoy customer service line. For real. Just tell them, "Hey, I need to link this reservation to my Bonvoy account," and they'll handle the digital heavy lifting for you. They are there to help, so don't be shook to ask!
FAQ Questions and Answers
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
How do I find my Marriott Bonvoy Confirmation Number?
You look no further than your email inbox, bestie! Search for the initial booking confirmation email sent by Marriott or the booking site you used. The Confirmation Number is usually bolded and clearly labeled. If you deleted it, check your email's trash folder or look up the reservation on the main Marriott website using your last name and check-in date.
What if the last name on the reservation is different from my account name?
SSDD (Same stuff, different day) for frequent travelers! You must use the Last Name that was provided when the reservation was booked (the primary guest’s name). Once the reservation is linked to your Bonvoy account, it won’t matter as much, but for the initial "lookup" process, you gotta stick to the original name.
Can I add a reservation booked via a travel agent?
Bet! In most cases, yes, you totally can. Use the "Look Up a Reservation" feature in the app or on the website with the Confirmation Number and the name on the booking. If that fails, the travel agent or the hotel itself can link your Bonvoy number for you.
How soon does the reservation appear after I book it?
It should appear almost ASAP if you booked while logged into your Bonvoy account in the app or on the website. If you used the "Look Up a Reservation" feature, it appears instantly once you input the correct data. If you book and it doesn't show up within an hour, something's sus, and you should follow the steps above!
How do I use Mobile Check-in once the reservation is added?
Once the reservation is linked and showing in your "Trips" tab, you’ll typically see a prompt to "Check In" on the day before or the day of arrival. Tap that button, fill out the required info, and once your room is ready, the app will send you a notification for a Mobile Key—letting you skip the front desk entirely and feel like the GOAT traveler you are!
