I really hate to be mad about this, but I have to admit, it's pretty frustrating.
On the phone with the Marriott Rew....errrr... BonVoy folks to inquire if there's some caveat I missed, and they put me on hold to call the property to try to ascertain what happened.
did you book directly with the hotel or did you use a third party like Expedia? Was it a cash/prepaid room rate , a cancellable rate or was your booking done with points?
And how do the above scenarios compare to your friend?
