Anyway, by using password alone, Marriott seems light year ahead of IHG Club which still uses only PIN, UA which allows only PIN despite also having passwords, and even Hilton which just dropped PIN only a couple a months ago. An 8-character password (with some rules about how it must be formed) seems light-years ahead of a numeric-only 4-digit PIN!
I believe Marriott is at least 8 characters and has to have at least one number and one upper case letter the last time I changed it. May be misremembering that but it was about a month ago.
