I'm sitting on a 6K+ gift card balance from last year's end of year 10% bonus. While I'm confident Marriott will get the system figured out and (more importantly) get their users educated, this is a good excuse to take advantage of the Hyatt promo for the next few weeks. Hopefully by the time I burn through 25 Hyatt nights, the Marriott Gift Card processing steps will have filtered down to the desk agents.
