I emphatically disagree with your take on that occurrence. Rather than viewing the rules as being selectively enforced, why don't you see it for what it most assuredly probably was -- a screwup by a clerk or clerks at properties that did not know how to code your reservation!!!!

PLN states that you will not get any points from them, and so does Marriott, but you persist in thinking that the rule is selectively enforced? Did you know that the hotels have to pay for those points that you got? Now, what conceivable reason do you think that a person in MR would credit you for a stay that was a PLN stay -- NONE!

The hotel made the mistake or if they were really desperate for your buisness, unlikely though it is, they added the points for your stay to your folio.

I say doubtful, because rather than paying a 3rd party wholesaler, or being paid by that wholesaler rock bottom rates for a block of rooms, they could have just cut their prices more. It make no sense to think of the earlier situations that you had as a conscious decision.

In any event, it was a conscious decision by the Wailea Marriott NOT to award you points or stay credit that you did not deserve, and therefore, even if you believed that in the past this restriction was being selectively enforced, then why in the world, did you initiate this thread about not receiving stay and point credit on a PLN stay when you KNEW that the rules barred you from receiving these items???

I am truly puzzled by your apparent sense of entitlement!!!!!!!!
