Hi all - just as a combo FYI/question.....as you know Marriott has bought out Delta brand hotels. I am have a conference to go to in Montreal in late Jan, and it's at a Delta hotel, so I figured "win, win". However, I just went to book it, and while they confirmed that it is now a Marriott brand hotel, they stated it is NOT yet part of Marriott Rewards.

The rep on the phone said that meant no MR points (which is a shame given the Mega Bonuses) and seemed very unsure as to whether I would get any platinum benefits while there (free wifi/breakfast).

Can anyone confirm this? It hardly seems fair. Any idea when they become part of Marriott Rewards?
