How is a single stay comprising of back-to-back reservations, one entirely on points and the other entirely on cash, treated for the purpose of points accrual? Is the entire stay of both reservations treated as equivalent to a regular Cash and Points stay, i.e. the cash component does not accrue points? Would seem logically consistent with the treatment of back-to-back reservations as a single stay.
If you have back to back reservations, the hotel will combine them under one folio and Marriott will only give you credit for 1 night. So make sure you get folios for both nights for when you write in for your missing stay. You’ll get points for your cash stay.
There is no way to avoid this. I’ve checked out after first reservation, got my folio, and checked in for second reservation. Makes no difference. Marriott IT can’t handle it.
