Because you're being a Marriott apologist and attacking someone who is bringing up a very legitimate issue - that is, Marriott lying to us about a one level soft landing. This is FlyerTalk, a forum dedicated to having in depth information about loyalty programs and finding the truth. What the heck one poster staying at x brand rather than y brand has to do with Marriott not honouring what they promised (regardless if it wasn't in the holy T&C) MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE times throughout the year should not warrant an attack to their 'loyalty'. Such posts let Marriott ignore the issue and the way they've treated us

There is nothing stopping them from making all hotels Category 17 and cost 1million points a night either, doesn't mean we can't be angry if they do it. Just like we can be angry if they lie to us after stating something multiple times multiple months apart during the year.
