Perhaps it is time to merge the two???
Somewhere buried in the Marriott forum is one or more threads on Corporate Rates, and endless debates on whether it is honorable to use them for personal travel, or if you don't work for the company, etc etc etc. The bottom line on that thread (is that) you either believe it is OK or you do not.

Same with this one. You are either in the "Marriott is cutting bennies when others are not" camp OR the " it is a tough economy and I think they are right" camp. Quite clear the 2 sides will never meet....so the "debate" is getting rather circular.....
