Just FYI.

I don't have a facebook account, either, but if you google "marriott rewards facebook", you can click on the first result and go to their facebook page. I don't believe we can comment or otherwise interact with the page, but they have the page set so that anyone can see it.

There are comments like, "Yay! I love Marriott!" and "I hope the surprise is that everyone who comments gets 10,000 pts./free trip/free stay/etc."

I agree that there need to be some limits associated with lounge access, but I doubt screwing the Gold Elites will solve the overcrowding problem.

I know one less Gold they'll have to worry about - cuz I'll be down the street at the Hyatt.

Maybe this discussion could be moved to a separate thread... but I don't see why they don't just limit the number of guests Golds (and maybe Plats?) can bring into a lounge if they have not actually booked a concierge level room. I don't think it would be unreasonable to put a limit on 2 persons per room in such cases, with an upcharge for each additional guest.

I've been a MR Plat for 3 years, and I've never heard of a BOGO. What is/was it?

just what it stands for "Buy one night, get next one free", but this program was semi-CXLed months ago........... and although Marriott has promised a replacement I'll believe it when and if I see it!
