It does make me wonder, however, how often Marriott surprises elite members who are not part of the FT crowd and who generally only travel during the week, for work, who suddenly are surprised there is no guaranteed weekend breakfast when they take a leisure trip with the family.
Probably a lot. Many road warriors don't track their bennies/programs obsessively. Heck, I AM on FT a lot & there's still basic stuff about Marriott I forget.
Cheers.
