What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Delta Hotels By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, tokenization, which replaces credit card numbers with indecipherable data, is a required part of their ongoing PCI compliance efforts. All credit card data processed or transmitted on the Marriott network via any property-based system and terminal must be tokenized.
The FDD states that the cost to implement tokenization is $380 per device. This means that for every device used to process credit card transactions within the Delta Hotels By Marriott property, the franchisee must pay $380 to implement the tokenization process.
The ongoing costs of tokenization are covered by the Program Services Contribution, meaning that after the initial implementation cost, franchisees will not incur additional direct charges for the continued use of tokenization. This Program Services Contribution likely covers the maintenance, updates, and support required to keep the tokenization system running and compliant with security standards.
