Tute--you hit the nail right on the head, as they say. Everyone else has pulled out of bizmiles because they want to drive the traffic to their sites. Marriott has stayed in it because they have no points checking function on their site. But their hookup with bizmiles is incredibly lame. I have had stays that have taken about two months to post on bizmiles. Stayed at new Marriott in Birmingham AL earlier in April, for example, and the stay is still not posted. This is one of the things that has driven me to stay more with Hilton when I find the two properties to be comparable. marriott needs to wise up or they are going to lose business. As for bizmiles, "Put a fork in 'em. They're done!"
