I provided my membership number at check in, received the usual benefits as elite member, however I did not receive credits (or points) for my 4 nights that I stayed in that hotel. After 10 days had passed, I filed a request for missing nights and received an email from the head of Bonvoy program that because my reservation was not through Marriott.com or Marriott reservation I was not eligible for those nights. I have never heard of such a thing and I travel quite a bit, has anyone else experienced this. I am honestly disgusted with Marriott and the way they are eroding away their reward program. I think it’s about time I consider switching my loyalty to a company that might value it. Would be interested to hear other people’s experience.
I'm impressed. All my missing stay requests are processed by what appears to be a customer service centre in India! And they often make mistakes. So do verify how your company TA made the booking. It it wasn't through an OTA (online travel agency), it's very possible that Marriott CS made an error.

The first question they ask when submitting a missing stay claim is "Did you book through a 3rd party website?" Did you happen to click yes when filling out the form?




Welcome to FT. Hope you stick around even though you may not want to with that handle.
