I noticed today that at some point, the US weekend breakfast exception list in the T&C has been revised to read:

”Through June 30, 2024, the following properties in the United States do not provide free continental breakfast in the hotel restaurant in the event the Lounge is closed but do offer 1,000 Points in lieu of breakfast. These properties include:”

I feel like this could really go either way. Either the weekend breakfast exception list goes away, and there are no other larger program changes, which would be great, or the list could be going away because the breakfast benefit will be revamped next year… which could also be good or bad depending on what that looks like.

I do think it’s confusing for many on how the breakfast rules and welcome gift are different depending on whether a property is part of a legacy Marriott or Starwood brand, and it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing to see a more uniform policy rolled out.
