If you stayed there last week (July 9-15) then it wasn't under the Marriott flag. At least not according to Marriott's web site:
*Effective Thursday, July 6, 2006, the Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel will exit the Renaissance system and begin operation as an independent hotel. Note: Marriott Rewards redemption reservations are no longer being accepted for July 6, 2006 and beyond. *Existing reservations from July 6, 2006 onward will not earn Marriott Rewards points.
