If MAR is not putting focus on this and driving this properly then why would the franchisees? Sending an email or some literature and cut outs is not training - definitely not training for an organization this size.

I myself cannot stand trying to persuade somebody you should be getting some kind of benefit. I shouldn't have to and quite frankly at times it can be embarrassing at the front desk in disagreement - It comes down to the principle of what the benefits are and why on earth is it the customers responsibility to carry around the T&C's. Seriously, there is NO OTHER business I deal with that I would have to do that. ( and unfortunately I have once with Marriott )
