Many thanks for reading, first of all!

Would any FTers be able to advise me about the following?

1. Marriott Platinum Challenge: do “day use”/“day rate” bookings count towards eligible stays?

2. When the new SPG/Marriott changes kick in, will Platinum Elites be able to get free breakfasts in R-C properties? I appreciate that’s not the case now, but I’ve read mixed reports about this from Aug 1st, so just wondered if any FTers knew conclusively?

Many thanks again!
