Also, I am lifetime Titanium. And I am very well versed that it's not just a matter of swiping a gc, I've gone through hundreds of them. In very other situation it has worked eventually, whether it took 1 minute or 10 minutes the employees made it work, often asking higher ups/ more experienced employees for assistance.
Fair enough. But your request means your complaint won’t be taken seriously.

In another thread, someone said they wrote down all the steps for processing gift cards to help FD agents. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? But this is Marriott. See posts # 1562-1563.

MASTER THREAD: Current Marriott Gift Card, Cash Back, Tricks & Promos

Next time I (successfully) use my gift cards, I will try to do the same. Hope others will try too and perhaps we can add to the wiki.

Not all hotels carry them, but many do. I’ve purchased some at Waikiki Marriott, St Regis NY, Sheraton McKinney. You just have to call around before driving anywhere.
