Another option might be to call the Gold line and ask them to help you out. They should be able to contact the hotel and work out changing your reservation for you.

Does Marriott still offer a soft landing across all tiers?

AFAIK, yes they still do. I've not seen or heard of any change on that.

I didnt realize that with UA 1K the gold Marriot was not automatic, but the marriot desk in sydney quickly made the addition to my status.

Need to remember to renew the marriot gold from UA 1K each year

Does anyone have an email address for Marriott customer complaints? I know there is a contact form on the website but it doesn't let you send attachments. I've not been able to get a response/resolution from the relevant hotel GM so I need to involve Marriott head office.

If I get status matched from SPG Platinum to Marriott Platinum, does all the subsequent stay counted as roll-over night?

Trying to find where to drop this: (Marriott ranked best hotel rewards program by a new report by U.S. News & World Report)

It might be worth starting a new thread for discussion. :)

Hello,

As a gold elite do you get complementary breakfast
at Courtyard properties?

Thanks for any replies:)

In general, free breakfast for Gold or Plats is NOT a stated benefit at CYs. So most likely you won't get free breakfast. But there are Full Service (FS) CYs outside NA where they have lounges and will give Gold/Plats access which usually come with free breakfast. Also, at least my experience has been that the corporate rates I use at CYs are more likely to include breakfast than I see at other Marriott chains.

Thank you hhoope01 for your reply^

I'm starting to become surprised at how many hotels don't have an enhanced internet option. This benefit has the "where available" qualifier and I realize some locations might not have good access. However I keep seeing a single speed (slow) in locations where it seems very unlikely to me that they can't get a good connection.

At a minimum it would be nice if standard and enhanced internet were features on the very lengthy list of amenities that a property offers (among all the junk like "chair" and "telephone" and "private bathroom")

Hi everyone,

what is the current value of 1 MR these days? I'm about to book a night at the Renaissance Zurich and they have a special offer for a room with 2500 bonus points at 189CHF per night. But they have a Junior Suite for 269CHF with 10,000 bonus points. Is it worth the upgrade?...

I'll let others come up with specific $/pt estimations (I usually see around $.01 per point). The real question is what will you use those points on? If I were wanting to order a TP award very quickly due to an airline miles transfer bonus and I was a few thousand points short, this might be a good option to get those points.

Or if you were already thinking about upgrading to the suite room as you really like or want to experience it, then the bonus points can just sweeten the choice. :)

Is the bonus 'per night' or 'per stay' and how long is your stay? If you have a 5 night stay and the bonus is 'per stay', then basically I doubt many would say the cash outlay (5*129CHF) would be worth the extra 7500 points.

I had to contact Marriott rewards for my 3 previous stays because points/nights are not posting. Today, my points/nights posted from my last stay but the points are not correct. Anyone else is having issues?
