Marriott.com website : bugs, glitches and outages

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?

Welcome to FT!

This has been going on for several months and has been discussed in multiple threads. Some people say it works with app but not website. For others it's the other way around.

Here is a thread that just popped back up today.

Points rez available but FNA use blacked out? - FlyerTalk Forums

Just refresh the page to see certs

Couldn't believe this is true... but it's working for me... In another thread someone mentioned:

If you try to book a cert reservation on the website, and you get to the payment page and it will only let you use points... just refresh the page and cert options will appear.

I'll spare you my rollercoaster of emotions upon learning that.

it seems Marriott is actually reading these forums *and* taking action. They have fixed the issue on the booking page that shows *current* elite status, not what you would have next year based on current YTD totals.


Thanks, Marriott.

Anyone having issues with the App? I tried to open up the App and it opens for a brief minute then closes. My wife went to open on her phone and it came up but asked to log in and then it said this password was part of a data leak, please change?
I went on the home PC and logged in no problem?

Having exact same issue as you. App opens, then bonks out. Web version is fine on PC.

Same here...it's been happening for several hours.

And the desktop site won't display affinity discount rates, including AAA and government. Just rack rates.

You would think that they would have addressed this issue. I, personally, do most of my booking transactions via the app and I understand nothing works 100% all the time, but I would have expected resolution or workaround by now.

I also can't log in. I just get a message that “Account Sign In is temporarily unavailable.”

Is there a fix to upcoming reservations disappearing from your account? I have 3 upcoming reservations. 1 of them (paid stay Luminous) fell off my account a couple months ago. My TA assures me it’s not cancelled but the Marriott site has trouble attaching it. I contacted @Marriott Bonvoy Lurker II and they are reaching out to the hotel to try to reattach as the system won’t let them do it. However, now ANOTHER reservation (points stay) has also disappeared. So frustrated!

I have no idea if this will work but try "modifying" your reservation. (I assume you have the confirmation email with the confirmation number.) Under My Trips in top right corner, it says:Hopefully that will pull up the reservation. Click on EDIT and choose the same room type again. In my case, it generated a new confirmation email. It might "re-awaken" the reservation.

NOTE; Do not do this if your points requirement has changed, unless it's decreased.

Out of curiosity, has the reservation also disappeared from the app?

Good luck!

@margarita girl no, the one one with the TA cannot be modified. And the one I booked with points doesn’t show up at all even with the confirmation number. It’s not cancelled, but just completely disappeared.

Well, it was just an idea. Sorry it didn't work.

Seems like the Marriott IT gremlins have taken over your account!
