as I stated above, Marriott has their own version of C&P and I would think that they had the option of copying the Starwood/Hilton & soon Hyatt method but for whatever reason's chose not to........
many complaints regarding the Marriott version, but to date nothing looks like they'll be changing their system to that of others to appease the masses.....
and, are the C&Ps of SPG, HH and Hyatt really the same that you want Marriott to opt for - I note that Hyatt will give you points on the cash portion - do SPG & HH also do this ?? No, as each brand opts for their own version......
