I guess the small chains have to do it. But I’m pretty confident that Marriott will nuke Platinum guaranteed check-out if they ever make it a credit card status. Ultimately, their customers are the franchisees. Everything they do for hotel guests is just to empower the Marriott marketing machine so they can deliver more value to hotel developers.
