Until this is done, as a loyal MR Platinum, I will be boycotting Marriott fir my future stays and will discourage my colleagues from staying at Marriott. Trust me, I'm an influential travel decision maker.
Marriott, hope you are listening!
Well, they're only going to listen if you contact them directly vs. posting on FT
Right now the UA folk are happy.
BTW - while the T&C say 01/31/14, there is a line somewhere (saw it on the multi-page thread in the UA forum) that as long as the folk signing up in their original programs (Marriott or UA) maintain that status, the promo they're signing up for will continue each year.
Cheers.
