I was referring to Marriott getting paid by the property pursuant to the franchise and/or management agreement.

The property takes the room payment.

It seems you've misunderstood my comment. The offer is triggered when the charge goes through on your card. And that will almost always be upon checkout.

The basic point here is that "Marriott" doesn't charge your card. The property does.
