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'.

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?

Since the start of the week I am unable to view my past activity in my account. My points total and stays are increasing as I can see this as stays / Amex points post, but I cannot see amounts.
Simply a message saying "We're temporarily unable to display the information requested"
To make it worse my Ambassador cannot see the information either!
Anyone else suffering a similar problem?

Trying to make an award reservation but the points advance feature seems to have disappeared? It no longer appears for me as an option.. anyone else see the same thing??
It seems that points advance is only available if you don't have enough points. If you do, it is forcing you to book using points?

App automatically used 35K free night cert for 25K points redemption?
This is a bit of an odd one, but nothing seems to surprise me these days when it comes to Marriott IT. I made a reservation for 2 rooms for a 25K points level property using the iPhone app. I'd selected points, and it showed 25K points per room, so I'd proceeded to book via the app as I was traveling and it was on short notice. I was checking my points balance afterwards and found it odd that it had only deducted 25K points. That's when I noticed that it had used a certificate for up to 35K points for one of the room. The website always prompts and provides the option of using a certificate or points, but the app didn't do this - it just showed points, and then deducted the certificate for one of the rooms. I wouldn't have used the certificate on this stay, as I'd surely have another 35K redemption at some point later in the year, so definitely a bit frustrated that the lack of transparency in the app seems to have cost me 10K points. The stay had already occurred by the time I'd noticed the certificate had been used, so cancelling and rebooking isn't an option as it would be for a future stay with a long lead time. I'm planning to call Marriott when I get a chance, but the hold times seemed long earlier today when I'd tried. Anyone else encounter this? Not sure if this is a common problem with the new app, or perhaps a bug with an unusual combination of booking 2 rooms.

I have a resort reservation coming up shortly. The reservation is for a non-smoking, king bed.
I went to view the reservation. It says:
Unavailable: 1 King Bed , Unavailable: Non-smoking room
That, of course, concerned me. I don't want my suite to have a random bed type, and I sure as hell don't want the possibility of a smoking room.
The 1-800 number staff tell me that:
• My Marriott profile says I prefer a king bed and a non-smoking room; true.
• The property is an entirely non-smoking hotel, so the system is unable to fulfill a special request for a non-smoking room, so it generates a message to tell me that.
• And the property is saying that my reservation is guaranteed for 1 king bed, so somehow it also can't honour that request because it's already part of the room.
Sure, of course I should've known what that's supposed to mean. Great work, Marriott IT.

Several months on, this fault is still there. On the website, a reservation for today shows as "in progress", and you can't view any detail such as roomtype, rate or cancellation penalty.
