Why does this charge appear?
Marriott International uses the truncated descriptor "MARRIOTT*" on bank statements because their global payment processing system applies a standardized prefix format that accommodates the character limits imposed by card networks like Visa and Mastercard, which typically cap merchant descriptors at 22 characters. The asterisk in "MARRIOTT*" serves as a separator, and depending on the specific property or booking method, additional location or booking reference information may follow it, helping to identify which Marriott-branded hotel — whether a Marriott, Courtyard, or Residence Inn — processed the charge. If you recently stayed at or booked a Marriott property, this descriptor confirms a legitimate hotel room or incidental charge from within the Marriott International portfolio.
What should you do?
Match the charge to a recent stay
Log into your Marriott Bonvoy account at marriott.com and review your recent reservations to confirm the MARRIOTT* charge corresponds to a hotel stay, incidental hold, or room service fee from a specific Marriott International property.
Check your Marriott Bonvoy points
While reviewing your account at marriott.com, verify that any eligible Marriott Bonvoy reward points from this stay have been properly credited to your account, as missing points could indicate a booking or billing discrepancy.
Review your itemized hotel receipt
Contact the specific Marriott Hotels property where you stayed and request an itemized folio to ensure the MARRIOTT* charge on your bank statement matches the exact total for your room rate, taxes, and any additional fees incurred during your stay.
Manage or cancel future reservations
If you have upcoming Marriott bookings you no longer need, visit marriott.com to cancel or modify your reservation before any applicable cancellation deadline to avoid additional MARRIOTT* charges appearing on your bank statement.
Is this charge fraudulent?
No, this is a legitimate charge from Marriott Hotels. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
