Keep in mind that now Marriott has a CX policy of the day before. Before this it was usually 4 or 6pm day of so if faced with well wheres ____ a person was able to say they will be here later and when not allowed to checkin call up and have the cert owner simply CX the res. That cant be done since the deadline to CX is the day before and if they dont show and check-in the hotel can ding them as a non-show and charge their CC and still not allow you or whomever is trying to use the cert to occupy the room

So just make sure you dont chose a hotel with a very high rate, just in case it hits the fan
