No more Marriott rewards for AMEX Germany?
Did anyone else notice that Marriott has disappeared from the list of redemption partner lately? It used to be such a good ratio at 1:1 and now it seems to be gone? I certainly didn't get any information about that. Does anyone know more? Don't they inform you when partners leave the program? If Starwood leaves as well, it's time to get rid of all my AMEX points I've collected over the years...

of course in germany the prices are very low. so the A/B categorie which gives you a small car would only cost 50euro per day.
but, as for example hertz mostly dont have the small cars, they never had one when i used my vouchers. ( i cashed in over 100000 MR miles in rental car vouchers in the last 4years)
you will get mostly a car which will cost you per day at least 70 Euro. doing the same thing in another europen county gives you a better value as for example in italy or france the rental car prices are much higher than in germany.
now its too sad that the german centurion is getting worser and worser.

Secondly, I certainly haven't noticed anything on their website and I'm browsing the redemption categories on a regular basis. If they were serious about telling people they could have a note next to Marriott redemption saying that this offer will expire soon, I think. Thirdly, I get their email newsletter and there certainly wasn't any mention of it in there in the last 12 months...
