Super Bowl champion Jason Kelce may be newly retired from football, but the NFL star has taken on another major role as the first-ever Marriott Bonvoy recipient Fan Ambassador.
As part of the new partnership, the Philadelphia Eagles legend is teaming up with Marriott Bonvoy to promote exclusive football-themed experiences that Bonvoy members can enjoy throughout the season, culminating in the opportunity to join Kelce in the lead-up to Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans.
Kelsey will launch a new “Marriott Bonvoy Moment” every Thursday throughout the NFL season, where Bonvoy members can use their points to bid on experiences. In addition to activating the Super Bowl, “Moments” range from joining Kelsey at a pool party in Los Angeles, to hanging out with a seven-time Pro Bowl player at a Marriott in Philadelphia, to wearing custom pieces from designer Kristin Juszczyk (who designed a famous jacket worn by Taylor Swift).
While some Bonvoy Moments are available through points redemption, others will be up for auction, with the person who bids the most Bonvoy points getting the experience. One of the available experiences: the chance to announce a draft pick live on stage at the 2025 NFL Draft. The winner will also have access to the Marriott Bonvoy Draft Party, with surprise appearances from players and coaches.
As Marriott explains, “Every Marriott Bonvoy member can turn their travel and everyday purchases into unforgettable experiences… even with just one point, you can unlock extraordinary opportunities.”
Kelsey stars in a new Marriott Bonvoy commercial, where he jokes about his newfound status as a lifelong fan while trying to help out at a Courtyard by Marriott.
“Throughout my playing days, I got to see and experience the unparalleled passion of NFL fans. Now that I’m done playing, I couldn’t be more excited to spend my first season as a full-time fan helping fuel that same passion by partnering with Marriott Bonvoy and Courtyard by Marriott,” Kelce said in a statement. “This collaboration is about celebrating all the things that make NFL fans special and providing them with opportunities to get closer to the game they love than ever before.”
Kelce played 13 seasons in the NFL, spending his entire career with the Philadelphia Eagles. In addition to working with Marriott Bonvoy, Kelce also hosts a successful podcast with his brother Jason, and was recently announced as a commentator on ESPN's Monday Night Football coverage.
