Hi Flyertalk, Sorry that this has been asked so many times but wanted to confirm something about this program quickly.
If I find a hotel near me that offers meetings for $200/day bookable online (drops to $100 for 1/2 hr), and book thru Marriott's site directly - I shouldn't have any issues getting the timeslot and getting the nights from the meeting?
Assuming that the hotel knows about the group posting tool of course. I'm 20 nights away from Plat 75 for this year, and weighing the $200 cost vs simplicity of hitting Plat 75 without issues.
Never been down this road before and damn am I cutting it close.
