MarriottRewards 20th birthday

Randy writes in the current print issue of inside flyer (11/03) about the birthday of Marriott Rewards. Excerpt from his editorial on page 6:
This month we acknowledge and applaud the twentieth anniversary of the Marriott loyality program (Nov. 20). Known over the years as Honored Guest Awards (HGA), Marriott Miles and now the collective Marriott Rewards, this grand dame of hotel loyality programs has earned every bit of respect it has today - Happy Birthday (could this mean a birthday trash is in the works?).

Marriott has published a timeline from the introduction of Honored Guest Awards until today. The beginning is described:
Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites launches Marriotts Honored Guest Awards -- a points-based frequent travel program available at approximately 120 full-service properties. Club Marquis members are automatically enrolled in the new program.

The first post in the Marriott Forum on Flyertalk is dated 05-07-1998 02:41PM. The poster was MileMonitor (= Randy, AFAIK).

The web archive goes back to 1998 and shows the first home page from marriottrewards.com

But now from the past to the future: which promotion comes next?


Happy Birthday! (Writing this from a Junior Suite in the Munich Marriott Hotel)

That's a nice one, but the one I like the best there is the irregular one on the 7th floor straight in front of the elevator. The view is really something!
