It does not matter whether we are referring to the Marriott Cert or the Renaissance Cert.
Previously, I have interpreted the use of this certificate to encompass only the weekend nights of Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Therefore, I believed that my free night had to encompass a weekend stay that either was a Friday and a Saturday night, or a Saturday and a Sunday night -- only those two types of stays.
Now, I am not so sure, as it indicates that you should reward yourself with a "Weekend Getaway," where your second consecutive night would be free.
Weekend nights are designated as Friday, Saturday and Sunday only.
So, would a "weekend stay" that begins on a Sunday night and includes the following Monday night qualify for the second night (Monday night) free discount??
Has anyone done this before?
What about if the Monday is a holiday -- e.g. July 4th and/or September 5th?
Thanks
Chris and Soc -- your responses are also requested! Thanks!
Not that I want to rain on the parade (because, quite frankly, I admire your ability to find "wiggle room" within Ts and Cs).
But as a layperson, I'm led to believe by wording appearing under the photo on the page headed
Offer Details - Marriott Rewards Elite Member Offer the following appears.
Reclaim your free time with a weekend getaway.
And enjoy a free second night from Marriott Hotels & Resorts or JW Marriott Hotel (sic)
& Resorts.
It's one of life's unexpected rewards an exhilirating two-for-one weekend night offer...exclusively for you.
They don't restate it in the numbered Ts and Cs (and should have been explicit within them), but in item #9 "weekend days" are defined as Friday/Saturday/Sunday.
But, at least to me, with that last sentence ("It's one of life's unexpected pleasures" yada, yada, yada) they're saying "Buy the first weekend night and the second (weekend night) is free."
I wouldn't mind being wrong.
