I hope Marriott considers it someday.
It would be interesting to see if Amex overhauls its Brilliant card (or creates a new ultra-premium card), if those CMs could be able to have access to non-standard rooms booked on points. Could be an interesting card benefit. Likely not a good enough benefit for me to hold an ultra-premium Marriott card but I would like the option to book non-standard rooms for more points too!
