The Marriott site truly does suck...once again they're having technical issues and can't login via app or website.

My first thought was “yeah, Marriott IT, same old, same old” - but actually OP has a right to assume he can cancel online a cancellable reservation made online. This wouldn’t be reflective of the Marriott experience over the last decade but the last year..? OP reminds us that this isn’t acceptable, and my “same old, same old” reaction is probably a sign of a type of pointshound Stockholm Syndrome. Marriott.com is down, again, right now, so I wasted my time finding the property I wanted and the rate as I couldn’t login to book it. We’ve grown wearily accepting of this crap. We shouldn’t be!

Was wondering if it was just me. Haven't tried the app, but can't sign in now, either. Just tried multiple times and keep getting 'Unable to Sign in' on both Safari and FF.

Tried to book a room for October time frame using points. Marriott website displayed rates and availability across various hotel choices. When I tried to log in to complete the booking, the website returned an error message. After few tries without success, I then tried using Marriott app, but the app could not complete the booking either.

I finally had to call Marriott customer service in China and the representative said that Marriott system is under maintenance and even she would not be able to complete the award booking for me!!!! Really? System maintenance at 10:00 AM China time (10:00 PM EDT)?????

If this was really a scheduled maintenance, why wouldn't Marriott's site at least return a message telling customers that the system is undergoing routine maintenance?

It has been frustrating trying to be Marriott customer lately.

Hooked!

Come on Marriott, this is getting aggravating !

Also can't sign in to either app or website. I'm getting 'connection error' on the app and 'try using member number instead of email' on the website.

Website and app appear to both be offline.

For me as an infrequent user of Marriott, but more frequent user of various other brands, this experience has left me with a bad taste. The website problems, I could have excused. After all, websites aren't perfect. It is a little odd the website cancel function did not work multiple times on different days but still, websites aren't perfect.

The phone rep who claimed it was cancelled but actually did not cancel it and who claimed they do not provide a cancellation number is what I have the biggest problem with. What if I hadn't double checked the next day? I'd be hit with a no show charge of hundreds of dollars. The property couldn't have re-sold the room. All due to a phone rep who did not do their job correctly. I'm sure it happens. Just frustrating to be at the receiving end of it.

Can't log in. The emails and or Marriott numbers for both my husband and I have all but disappeared on the automatic population too. There are emails and spg numbers populating now that I have never seen come up before. It is beyond frustrating when trying to book hotels and or make changes to reservations and it is not possible! I keep telling my LT Titanium husband to jump ship to another hotel group...now!

Hyatt has been great! The grass can be greener...I will have earned 5 total free nights in my first 6 months of membership & stays with them. Globalist is an amazing top tier.

Or Hilton, get the credit card and get (a weaker admittedly) top tier status for basically free, and give them a shot for a bit.

If you are LTT, frankly you have very limited reason to give Marriott ongoing business.
