Now back to the promo, it's designed to drive specific behaviour not to appease a particular cohort of Bonvoy members who show up to hue and cry on FT.
of course I know Marriott or other chains or airlines make money from CC and
and that it isn’t “free”.
but $800 for 50 elite night credits
it is one night in Ritz…
I would be more happy about level playing field
since it’s only in a few countries.. mainly in the US
don’t you think I would not want 5 times points multiplier? I’d have tons of points
paying for myself just for leisure traveling
which I’m glad I can do - over 60 days in a year
Do I sound like a cry baby? Maybe
but that’s the point of chats and discussion / forums
And
of course I don’t have to participate in Bonvoy program if it’s so bad. Right?
I know that
for now I’m enjoying myself with my Titanium status
however new promo ruined my plans to become ambassador … Unless of course I book 30 nights in a Moxy!! Haha
