Have been loyal Marriott supporter for many, many years. Achieved Life plat long ago under initial requirements. Ability to earn points has remained constant seemingly forever with rate of points per dollar/Marriott CC. On the other hand, have seen continual deterioration/removal of availability of award choices and escalation of hotel categories. Promotions have been decreasing as well. So the bottom line seems to be your earning power continues to remain the same per night but the cost to use your points continually increases.

Should we not see a 15 point per dollar rate with credit card?
