And I don't talk about this all vacations properities, in Hilton my familly in second room can use sometimes my free breakfast benefit too.
PhD degree to know this F&B credit, continental or american breakfast or bufet .... and after all you have bill for your cappuccino coffee at breakfast.
Here's what
Marriott announced April 16, 2019 about elite breakfast:
"The breakfast offering for Platinum and Platinum Premier members will be expanded to 23 participating brands, including Courtyard, AC Hotels by Marriott, Protea and Moxy, as well as resorts. For certain brands, members will receive free breakfast or an on-property food and beverage credit for breakfast or other dining options."
In other words, Marriott announced that the number of brands would be limited and announced that, for some brands, it would only be a F&B credit toward breakfast or another meal. There is a match between what Marriott announced and what Marriott delivered.
Marriott never announced that "all top members will have free breakfast ex. RC in new consolidated program." There may have been rumors, speculation, and misinformation on blogs and elsewhere, but not "big marketing" from Marriott promising free elite breakfast at all brands except Ritz-Carlton.
If I am mistaken, please provide a link.
