Prior to the merger, it was SPG policy to not honor any benefits to elites when staying at a property on a discounted rate like Priceline, Expedia, Hotels.com, etc. rates. But Marriott did continue to recognize elite benefits on such rates.

Has this changed? I don't see anything in the T&C that explicitly denies perks based on rate. But I may not have read it too closely.

I ask because there is an SPG property I had stayed at a few times(pre merger) and initially they were offering me benefits but then stopped, citing the Starwood policy.

If the new and improved MR program hasn't changed in this regard, is it conceivable that I go back to that SPG property and should expect benefits to be offered (platinum breakfast, late check out, etc.)?
