since one brand is copying the other (not referring to Apple v. Samsung!) if Marriott really wants to start a "true" C&P program, then just do what SPG and HH (and perhaps others which I'm not aware of) already do as there's no copyright infringement problem here (unless the C&P program title has itself been copyrighted - then just term it something similar, but not misleading like Marriott's Personal C&P Program - to distinguished it from others)

If that really is the case this would shed some very saddening light on the folks working on this program.
