Marriott Vacations-no stay credit
I recently booked a vacation through Vacations by Marriott. I was not given credit for nights stayed. I called the Rewards line, and was told on a vacation package, I only got points for incidental charges (which I knew) and no credit for night stayed. The same answer was given when I emailed the question. No points or nights stayed for rooms booked through travel agents or consolidators. I understand this policy if booked through a travel agent, but not through an agent trading as "Vacations by Marriott" and sanctioned by Marriott. I think that is awful. What is the benefit for booking a vacation through Marriott? I stayed at Marriott hotels. As a side note, the operator on the Rewards line said it was not possible to book air and rental cars through Marriott! Evidently, she has never seen her own website.
I will never book another vacation through Marriott.
