A while later, he came back and said the accoutant told him these coupon can only be accepted for $100 each. Although I kindly reminded him theses are British Sterlings, he insisted what he said and empasized this is marriott's policy. Ok, I didn't want to keep arguing with him, coz I have a meeting later. So I asked him to make a copy of those 2 coupons for me and left.

This is the first time I used Pounds Coupons, I am not quite sure about their policy. But I remember many posts here stated these coupons can be used as $160-$180. Anything I did wrong? Is it possible to get the difference back? which phone number & email address I could contact Marriott about this issue? Thanks for the help.

the staff is lazy and/or ignorant
i print out the value using marriotts currency exchange and hand it to them when i hand them the premium pound

you may have only got $100
but when they convertit, they will get the full value, currently at 176.00

you should have given them at check in so they had time to make phone calls and figure it out
