So is it not possible to get the number on in advance? I don't care so much about the room upgrade, but free breakfast and room preferences would be great. Thanks

I had the same thing happen to me, they said try it at the hotel. In the past, I have earned points on Priceline stays (albeit perhaps erroneously)...does anyone have any experience in the past year or so with this? Or has Marriott wised up and cut this out. If the hotel adds it at checkin, will they be more likely to offer Gold Elite benefits?
