Hi all,

New member here. Purchased $4000 worth of gift cards with the now expired promotion. Had mixed success with using them now!

1. Memorial weekend stay in Aloft hotel (Ocean City): worked with no problems, the manager had to input her details and amount was deducted.
2. This weekend, didn't read the fine print and paid for a pre paid stay and hence was not eligible.
3. Now trying to book a room in AC Washington DC for 2 weeks time. Called the front desk, they initially denied gift cards could even be used but upon explaining it is a Marriott gift card, she stated only physical gift cards could be used. When I pointed out the terms and conditions she said the hotel can decide for themselves if they accept electronic gift cards....any one encountered difficulty with AC hotel chain or a situation like this before?

Plan to call tomorrow and speak to a manger during business hours. Will keep you posted!
