That's stupid.
Nono it's not worthless, but it only applies to qualifying charges on your final folio, such as room charges and food.

I was just saying that the bonus does not apply to credit card earnings, which makes complete sense if you think about it.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to link it with the location pre-filled in, but yes I believe this is new from the merger. The resort might not even be aware of it, but now you have something to show them if they try to deny you the benefit.
The general website is https://marriottmembersdinemore.com/

My travel circumstances have changed and I might possibly have to visit StR solo. Will it be boring as a solo traveler there? Not ideal, but I figure it's a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Note: I had the reservation booked as a cash reservation and then successfully cancelled it online, waited a few minutes and the Garden Villa reappeared in inventory at which time I was able to book with points.

I am struggling to replicate this, is this serious or a once off?

I was able to do this 2 times. I first booked the dates right after my preferred dates to ensure it would actually book then once it did I cancelled my cash booking - waited a few minutes and was able to book my preferred dates. Then I cancelled the first points reservation. If you are having trouble finding availability I see May 20-25, 2019 open for the 240,000 rate.

Just replicated...I did it with the SPG app. All my previous attempts were done in the Marriott app

I now logged in via a desktop browser to the Marriott site and the reservation shows up there. Awesome!

Is that what was shown in the app before booking? All I can see are terms that say no cancellation 100% forfeiture
