If I book a room and pay with a Marriott Gift Card that I got as a present, will I still accrue points (e.g. same number of points per "dollar" spent)? Considering letting people know that we're interested in Marriot Gift Cards for our wedding, but I want to ensure that we can earn points if we do gift cards. If not, we'll just try to figure out a way to do cash.
I hope someone will correct me if I am wrong, as I am still relatively new here, but I'm 99% sure that the answer to your question is yes. So long as you aren't using points or an award certificate, you will earn points. Gift Cards and the Marriott Cheques are treated as cash.
