Thank you for the comments and suggestions. I truly appreciate all your thoughts. This was a Dinner for Two certificate that, if my memory serves me correctly, was an award available by redeeming Marriott points. I would really just like to use it and be done with it.
I understand I am not in the US but I don't believe it was limited to US properties as certain restaurants that were specifically excluded included certain restaurants in London, Paris, and Spain.
I am hopeful Marriott Concierge might be able to intervene on my behalf and let the hotel know how to get reimbursed for the certificate. I know, I know....if wishes were horses then beggars would ride.
Thanks, again for the input.
