I'm reasonably new to Marriott / Ritz Carlton, being an SPG Lifetime Plat / 100 refugee...
I recently stayed at a Ritz Carlton hotel. I understand that I do not get Marriott points for anything other than the 'room' element.
When my points for the stay posted (much quicker than with SPG, I might add!), I noticed the points I was awarded were significantly lower than what I expected.
On querying with the hotel, I was informed that my rate included breakfast for two and the hotel had therefore deducted USD $60 off the daily rate and only the remainder was what it used to calculate the 'room' rate for points purposes.
Is this standard practice?
Thanks in advance!
