Why only points+cash stays showing up for London?
I am starting to look at hotels for a trip to London next summer, but I can only find points+cash showing up in London proper hotels. Is this normal for Marriott? The first hotel that is points only is 14 miles away, obviously not what I want.
On a seperate note, do Platinum members get point discounts? I know at Hilton Diamond members get a discount.

My suggestion would be to keep checking and since you aren't seeking a specific property, something in your preferred area might open up for you.

Here's the list of hotel categories & points required, both regular & points savers.
