Marriott Rewards members will be able to choose how they want to earn bonus points this fall.

This week, the Bethesda, Maryland-based hotel company announced the "Choose Your Path" MegaBonus promotion. Beginning Sept. 1, members who register for the promotion will be able to select from two different earning options.

Option 1 will allow members to earn 10,000 bonus points for every 10 nights. Members who choose this path can earn up to 50,000 bonus points.

Option 2 requires members to stay at least twice to earn 5,000 bonus points after the second stay. However, members who choose this route can only earn a maximum of 5,000 bonus points. What's more, a stay is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel.
