My experience since December is all of my Marriott awards that I have earned have cleared (after waiting one month)...but I haven't seen any in the mail! Where are they going? Has anybody got any of these lately? I think I have four different redemptions of between one and four certificates shown as sent but I haven't seen them.

Also, I am continually annoyed at having to send in the documentation for points, getting the auto-response, waiting for a human response, and then getting sent a form letter telling me to wait 20 days from purchase for a post. This is after waiting the 20 days in the first place! And then you have to start the whole thing over again. If I wasn't so hard-headed I would just forget the whole thing and just buy at office depot and tupperware and 1-800 Contacts. At least those usually post with no problem. Did someone say a mypoint is worth less than 1 cent? Am I getting all worked up over a couple of dollars?

Isn't it to their benefit for me to buy something throught their site and award me my points? Sometimes I think it's like they are doing me a favor by giving me what they promised.

I am beginning to believe life is too short and there are other more important battles to fight.
