As most of you probably know by now, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card is offering an incredible sign-up bonus:

Three complimentary nights at any Tier 1-4 Ritz-Carlton hotel after spending $5,000 within three months

10,000 bonus points after adding an authorized user and having them make a purchase within the first three months

The card has a $450 annual fee, though comes with several perks that help offset it and add significant value, like a $300 annual airline credit, Ritz-Carlton Rewards Gold status (also valid at Marriott properties), a $100 companion airfare discount on domestic travel, etc.

The three complimentary nights earned on The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card are valid for redemptions at Tier 1-4 Ritz-Carlton properties, and must be redeemed within 12 months of when they’re issued. You can use all three nights towards a single stay, can make three one night stays, etc. In a post yesterday I shared some of the awesome getaways you could plan within the US using these complimentary nights.

The Ritz-Carlton Rewards and Marriott Rewards programs are separate but more or less equal in terms of benefits. One thing that’s puzzling is that the Ritz-Carlton website doesn’t even have a chart showing which hotels belong in which categories.

Instead, this page of the Ritz-Carlton Rewards website links to the Marriott Rewards website, where you can view hotels by Category & Tier. Now, that’s not exactly difficult, but it does seem like a lot of hoops to jump through in order to see which Ritz-Carlton property belongs to which Tier. On top of that, when you actually click on the individual hotels it doesn’t even redirect you to the individual hotels’ websites, but rather to the Ritz-Carlton homepage.

With that in mind, Tiffany was nice enough to put together a single chart with all Ritz-Carlton Rewards properties listed by Tier. Do keep in mind, however, that complimentary nights earned through The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card can only be redeemed at Tier 1-4 Ritz-Carlton properties. That means they can’t be redeemed at Tier 5 properties, or at EDITION properties.

17 Tier 1 properties

18 Tier 2 properties

31 Tier 3 properties

15 Tier 4 properties

13 Tier 5 properties

As you can see, that means there are a total of 94 properties in the Ritz-Carlton Rewards Tier chart. Of those, 13 are Tier 5 properties, and four are EDITION properties. That means you can redeem the three complimentary nights earned on The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card at 77 of the 94 Ritz-Carlton Rewards Tier 1-5 properties.
