What should I do? I obviously am more than happy to pay for the extra seaplane seat, but having the number of points go up when it would have otherwise been the same seems ridiculous.
Contact the hotel and ask if they can amend it or make a note to ensure the seaplane is booked and charged for 2 people. The only other thing that could be an issue is if you are having breakfast as the Elite benifit then technically you may only get it for 1 as the room is only booked for 1 person. The hotel may not enforce this but I would make sure ahead of time!
To be fair the hotel maybe able to change the reservation from 1 to 2 people anyway as their reservations department will have mroe control over it than Marriott.
