Thanks, Andrew!

This is big news!

I recall that MR did offer some points at participating Ritz's in the past -- and your announcement seems to indicate that this again will be the way the program operates at Ritz properties, i.e. not all Ritz's will award points on a paid stay; therefore, could you please provide a list of which hotels will participate in the program and award points?

In addition, will status in the program count for anything in the way of perks at these select properties, and will our use of the Marriott Visa at these participating properties earn the 3x points multiplier bonus if used to pay for the stay?
