. Had to call Marriott & nice gentleman said I'm signed up now.
Like others, I am wondering if it is worth it to continue with Marriott. Two of my fav US properties are a bear to get paid rooms & my 3 fav EU properties just went out the roof for rewards. We shall see.
All hotel chains and all frequent guest and elite programs get devalued from time to time. Look at the whole picture, and not just the one part which you are unhappy with before you decide to change. If you do not look at the whole picture, some people will later feel they made the wrong decision.
As far as the promos, like Mega Bonus, just make it a practice of always checking, and if you do not get it through e-mail or when you sign on, then call MR to ask for registration.
How and which EU properties "just went out the roof for rewards?"
