FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: cmhsieh54
cmhsieh54 in post #1965 suggests that if you have an upcoming stay and if the online system (i.e. website/app) loses your confirmation number, and your online/telephone correspondence with corporate hotlines get you nowhere, call the hotel directly and give them your name and check-in date. Chances are quite high they'll find the confirmation number on their end and they will add it back to your online profile. It's a 2-minute fix; and a better day when we all don't have to be troubled by 'bugs'.
__________________________________________________
(Below is Marriott's own guidance about this 'bugs' thread)



If you're here, you are obviously experiencing some issues with the web site. Our apologies for any inconvenience. We have an interest in giving you the best web experience possible, so here are some tips on how to get any problems resolved:

First of all, the web assistance team has this suggestion for you:

"We first suggest the normal steps of clearing their cache (temporary files) and cookies, logging out of their Marriott Bonvoy account online, then close all browser windows before trying again. Please note that clearing cookies may also remove any stored passwords in the browser.

It is important for them to log out to ensure no bad/old data is saved and so that the online account has a chance to refresh.

You may already be aware of this, but note that cache and cookies are 2 different things. The cache memory is what remembers old content for faster page loading and may cause errors after updates. Cookies are mostly only meant for tracking during the current session. Both can still remember old errors that may have existed in the browser."

You should also be aware that being on a VPN sometimes interferes with your browsing experience. Try browsing without being on a VPN and see if this fixes the issue.

If none of this resolves your issue(s), you can you can send an email to [email protected] along with any screenshots leading up to and including the error message.

It also helps if you include the following information in your email:

-What browser(s) have you tried? Is the issue happening over multiple browsers or just one?
-Are you using a desktop/laptop or a mobile device?
-If you are using mobile device does this issue persist when on a desktop/laptop?

Once we have this information, we can forward it on to the web assistance team for further review, so please be as complete as possible.

If you are having an issue with any of the Marriott Bonvoy apps, you can send the following information directly to the Marriott Bonvoy App team at [email protected]:

-What device and operating system are you using?
-What version of our app do you have installed?
-What is the problem you have encountered?

Same issue. I know a couple of FT's that are active on MI like I am. They cannot get in either. They are using a new website now without "rewards" in the name. You can go to the site, but logging in loops back to the bad URL.
https://insiders.marriott.com/

According to someone I chatted with, no one has been able to access since the Bonvoy changerover.

That's what is happening to me. I can access the site but everything on the site loops back to the bad URL. Amazing!

Amazing?!?! Honestly, I am not sure we should be surprised by anything related to Marriott IT failures.

I second MrVker here - absolutely nothing surprising about yet another Marriott IT foul-up!

And still can’t sign in after trying right now!

Could it be that Marriott has said "Bon Voyage" to insiders??

Lurkers have already posted that this is a known issue and they are working on it.

Just completed a search an marriott.com. Then I got this in a nice yellow box:

We are temporarily unable to process requests for rates and availability.

What's the point of a hotel website that can't perform searches for rates or availability?

I have a transfer from Amex which they have marked as completed, yet no points show up in my acct.

I cancelled a stay at a hotel, which they had withdrawn 120k points for, and they were not credited.

Any idea on how to solve this?

I have a number of upcoming reservations with Marriott. Trying to cancel two of them.

On one, I am given a new confirmation number, and on clicking there, I am taken to another page where I can see a Cancel Room link below the button that says Edit Room. That llnk works without a problem.

The other one? No Cancel Room link is visible anywhere. I can click on cancelation policies and confirm that I am entitled to cancel, but there seems to be no way of doing it online. Another IT foul-up? Anyone else having problems canceling online?

Lurkers are your best bet here.

On my Mac using Safari, if I type the first letter of my user name, it then populates the user and password fields. It used to be better when you just clicked into the field, but at least it's saved.

Website issues

Anyone else having issues with reservations today? I even tried to call the hotel directly that I need, and their reservation person is "on property", Sheraton Austin Capital. Anyone else having issues with IT today?

Yes, website is a total unmitigated piece of garbage. Keep getting the ' We are temporarily unable to process requests for rates and availability.'

Been having this happen intermittently for months, and now it is constant to where I search for or book anything. Marriott should be embarrassed, but I'm sure their marketing dept is busy giving each other hi-5s for the name and branding change while customer service and functionality are in the crapper.
