Marriott Bonvoy and United MileagePlus top tier elites have offered some reciprocal perks for years, but this is the first time I've seen them run a promo.
Now, Marriott Ambassador and United Premier 1K members can special reciprocal benefits if they meet spend thresholds by March 31, 2024.

Points Wire Note:
Naturally, this promo won't apply to tons of people as it only applies to top tier elites with each program. However, it's a good idea to keep an eye on how loyalty programs are operating.
For those eligible to participate, I don't think you need to make this a priority. The Marriott Suite Night Awards can be tough to use and some brands/properties won't even accept them. The 40 PlusPoints could be useful though.
