Marriott seems to be a past master at rip-offs, very carefully stated to be a derive to their valued customers. I quit using Marriott in protest over their UK practices. Only later i found out they do the same thing in the US. Bluntly, I'll not patronise them because of that.
I've pretty much given up on Visa and MasterCard for US transactions. I just use my forex free Amex, sick of DCC.
