good e-mail-news from Marriott: "[email protected] wrote: Dear Rudi If you would like to switch between the two programs when you stay, just tell the front desk when you check in which you would like to receive for the stay, they can credit either to your account. Thanks Jodie James. Date:7/15/98 5:33 PM".

I hope it works that way and I will carry a print-out of this e-mail with me for next stays. Thank you Marriott.
