I tried again a few weeks later with my newly minted PP and got, "Thank you for being a loyal Marriott member Ms. Nightowl, I am sure we can arrange that. Let me call the hotel. Do you mind holding for a few minutes Mrs. Nightowl?" )
Congrats on that! I've been PP for the last 3 years and outside of the annual $10 or so gift, I don't see any difference or freebies.
