For the purposes of the program, it has been determined that a guest cannot occupy more than one room at a time on the same night in more than one hotel location. As a result, a member is not eligible to receive Elite nights, Points or miles for a room reserved and registered in their name at more than one hotel for the same night. "

Has anyone else ever encountered this? Seems bizarre since the only rational response I see is to book the weekend with a different chain, so Marriott lose the revenue.
