One can click, "Details" for the stay and can see both reservations linked together.
1) However, I had to book two separate reservations for the same stay as one room was booked on a cash-rate and one room was booked using points. I am trying to figure out how to, "link" these reservations online so that it appears similar to when I had booked two rooms together. Is this possible? If no, can the Marriott team, "link" these reservations?
2) Similarly, I had to book two separate reservations foe the same stay as each room had a different occupancy number and Marriott does not allow you to book two rooms together if each room has a different occupancy number. I would like to link these reservations as well.
Any reason to "link" these reservations?
Other than cosmetic, I don't see any advantage by "link" these reservations.
I even think that Marriott "amazing" IT system might end up cocking them up for you.
Like your point and cash rate, the system might treat those reservations as all point reservations and make your earned point lesser (or even zeroed them completely)
The second case, does the occupancy difference cause extra charge for the room? like 2 and 3 persons (extra bed charge for the 3 occupants room) or it just 1 and 2 person which you can just register 2 persons on both rooms?
If the difference require extra charge, then it will be easier for you to ask the folio of the 2nd room transferred to your room upon checkout, so you have all the expenses show up for points calculation.
(Stay and night count doesn't matter as it only for the 1st room)
