Upon using Vacations by Marriott at the Renaissance properties in BKK and KUL, my wife and I received all our elite perks, Executive Lounge access, breakfast, etc. What we did not receive were stay credits and points relating to stay expenditure. Before booking, I called the Platinum line and was assured that the VbyM bookings would qualify for stay credit. Unfortunately, this was not the case as VbyM reservations are not booked through Marriott, but through a third party tour consolidator.
