Is anyone else having this trouble? I wonder if Marriott was aware of this potential, now real, problem.
Does anyone have contact info for someone at Marriott that I can use to discuss this issue. If this policy stays in effect, then I will have to find a new primary hotel chain to use.
Not happy about this, sorry if this is old news. I knew of the new policy, but I didn't realize that it would happen this way (forbidden by Concur) until I tried to book a stay last night.
Opinions?

I wouldn't say forbidden by Concur. Concur just uses the policy set forth by your company, it doesn't forbid anything unless your companies policy forbids it. My company uses Concur also and Concur does not forbid me from booking Marriott. Concur is just a portal that follows policies set by your company and passes the info on to the travel agent your company has contracted with, mine is Balboa.
