It took them 3 months to fix it. Or maybe the fact that last year I shifted my spend from 60-40 Marriott-Hyatt to 90-10? Who knows. Who cares any more? I've moved most of my spend off Marriott these days.
Just a quick update:
Last word I heard from Marriott was that all accounts are being reviewed in January and anyone who is determined to still qualify would hear from their assigned Ambassador no later than March 1, 2019. It is now March 21, and nothing from Marriott. Plus, the outstanding issue I had that I was attempting to resolve (Historical Reminder so you don't have to scroll up: I started asking who my Ambassador was specifically because I had a problem at a property that wasn't getting solved and I figured I'd try out this shiny new status I had and see if they could solve it.) is still outstanding.
