Starriott PPE Amabassador members are often asked for personal information to facilitate and enhance service... and this even includes a personal photo. All of this is optional. And yes, with the personal information I chose to provide, it has greatly improved and personalized the quality of service I've received.
So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm just waiting for the day where I no longer need to check in to a SPMarriott hotel. Whenever I'm at a Hilton my app just tells me what room number I've got and I open the door! I don't understand why SPMarriott still needs to process a check in. I'm also surprised why AC or UA require this also given NH doesn't need anything to spit you a boarding pass. Next thing you know they'll insist on taking an imprint of my credit card!

With a little technology, it could work when you're not such a regular.

Dimly lit, comfy chairs, an interesting drink list and the only sound you hear is when the bartender is shaking a drink. Extra points for being a dive but still having good drinks.
Not the type of lounge with bare feet, running children, flight announcements and Facetime anything. Points subtracted for filthy bathrooms or soiled furniture.
