Marriott announced the termination of its agreement and partnership with Sonder, a group of apartment-style accommodations and boutique hotels, in an unexpected press release published on Nov. 9, 2026.
The press release stated that the licensing agreement between the two hotel companies "is no longer in effect due to Sonder's default." This means that Sonder properties will no longer be Marriott-affiliated, and booking Sonder properties through Marriott will not be possible, which, of course, means you won't be able to redeem Marriott Bonvoy points for Sonder hotels anymore.
Without much more information, it's hard to say at this point what the exact cause of the termination is.
