I've provided them with receipts and e-mails from the hotels thanking me for my stays; MyPoints says they can see I clicked through. However, before awarding my points they must get the hotels to authorize. I replied that's not what's stated in their offer and if I don't get what's promised I'll file a complaint with BBB.
The Marriotts have been becoming harder to find in general- hit or miss at MyPoints for a while now, and totally gone at Swagbucks since last October or so.
As for the hotel issue, did the reservations ever show up on your ledger when you go into the 'My Account' area? I noticed that IHG reservations for May did show up on the ledger as 'pending' or something like that when I made the reservation in February with a point total I'd earn, even though that number wasn't reflected in my current point total.
On the annoying side, MyPpoints wouldn't release those points for the stays until a good month after they were completed, and I only was able to cash them out today for a stay that ended and was paid for on June 1. Which seems to be a bit on the long side unless that kind of float is necessary for their business operations.
