Good Morning, FlyerTalk community.

I wanted to share with all of you an announcement we recently leaked on Marriott Rewards Insiders, providing an update to our free Internet benefit for Gold and Platinum Elite Members.

We’ve been happy to see our Gold and Platinum Elite Members take advantage of free Internet at 700 hotels across North America, and today, it gives me great pleasure to provide you with an...update:

Starting January 2011, Gold and Platinum Elite Members can enjoy free internet worldwide at these brands:

* JW Marriott®
* Autograph Collection®
* Renaissance® Hotels
* Marriott® Hotels & Resorts

Please note, every guest will continue to receive free Internet at all EDITION (SM), Courtyard®, Fairfield Inn & Suites®, SpringHill Suites®, Residence Inn® and TownePlace Suites® hotels.

You’ve told us that free internet is both important and expected. We heard you and are ready to help you stay in touch wherever your travels may take you.

Full details of the expansion of this benefit will be available online September 15, 2010 here. The site will be updated with the global information then.

Thank you and enjoy!

-Andrew and the Marriott Concierge Team
