I had a message from MR saying that my SPG and Marriott accounts are going to be unlinked soon, I suspect because there's a different variation on my name on each account. They ask me to contact them.

I am getting the same unresponsiveness. Fortunately, I'm not too worried, although, if it gets closer to August 1st, and still unresolved, I'll be a little miffed.

With all due respect.....I don't believe that in 2018 it is even remotely possible Marriott corporate is unaware.

In fairness I got through to a live person after holding for 7 minutes (yes, I was keeping track!) and the person could see that I had submitted an online claim, retrieved it, and posted the stay manually. The total points refreshed on my MR account (both online and app) instantly, although the actual transaction reflected only a day later (perhaps via a daily refresh).

Anyone experiencing unresponsiveness / slowness of Marriott's website ?

So far, no actual response; I'm expecting that I will have to call.

I would disagree. I can easily imagine some executive whose responsibilities include the call center or general customer service deciding to hide the meltdown from his/her boss, or at least deciding to "postpone" communicating the problem upward in the hierarchy. For all we know, the person is expecting a big bonus for his/her role in cutting costs.

Sand still exists and there are those that insist problems will go away if they ignore them. The age of shooting the messenger still exists and staff changes can be hidden by merger changes. And to finish out my line of platitudes, I'm sure there are a lot of tree-huggers hoping to make it past the final merger activities.

Yes, what we see on the web is feed by the back-office systems that get updated on different schedules depending on the transaction. It's havoc when this connection fails and it takes time to get it back on track.

The website appeared to be functional today, so I made a reservation at an FS for a two bed room in a couple of weeks. The website showed the room type as guaranteed. Later received the confirmation indicating that the room type was sold out and they charged a deposit to my Visa card. This is getting irritating. :mad:

You WILL have to call! Else it's going nowhere...

Well you are right that I got no response. However, I am returning to the same property in Louisville next week, so when I check in I'm going to ask them to fix the missing arrival gift from the last visit. I also know who one of the managers is due to an issue from my last visit, so theoretically I have at least a tiny bit of leverage.

Marriott Customer Service Meltdown - 7 weeks and rolling
 
Does anyone have any inside information on Marriotts issues with hold times. 25 minutes every time I call the Platinum Premiere line and an automated person that guards the crap out of it! This has been going on for 7 weeks. How much patience does Marriott expect people to have ? Am I the only one experiencing these hold times?

getagb Jun 15, 2018 8:48 pm

It’s intermittent — sometimes I call the platinum line and someone immediately picks up
