I thought they they would just deduct 35k points from my account, but that didn’t happen. I still have the exact same number of points in my account. When I look at the reservation on the app it says I need an ecertificate by the time I check in. How do I get one of those? I can’t see how to convert points to an ecertificate. tls

Sounds like post # 1253.

Lots of people having Marriott IT issues this weekend.

Cancelled award booking and points have not been recredited too. It is ten hours now. Called CS and though polite they did not help even after many minutes on hold. Been asked just to wait and call back again next week if still missing them. No case number given.

Thanks, yes very similar, although I never got a prompt to deduct the points. Guess I need to call CS. tls

I purchased some points last Wednesday as I was a few thousand short for an upcoming points advance booking (for which I have now received an automated mail stating they are unable to issue the certificate) - still nothing has hit my account and have sent CS 2 emails and a FB messenger communication - no responses from customer service...

i've had this happen to me a couple of times....the points were deducted within 24 hours....just wait to see if that happens....if not then call & ask if the reservation is confirmed....there is no need to get an e-certificate....

Is it possible you used a 35k credit card free night accidentally? I think points or CC reservations have said the same on my reservations. Didn't make sense to me either as this "ecertificate" was never to be seen or needed. Must be wording carryover from some system in the past?

No, I don't have a credit card with them, so that couldn't be it. Weird about the ecertificate. Maybe the points will eventually be deducted, as per the poster below. tls

Well, I just clicked on the View/Modify button of the reservation and got the following message:

Great! You’ve earned all the points you need.

Deduct your points now for your stay, or we’ll automatically take care of this for you 15 days prior to your arrival.

The points rate for your reservation may increase or decrease until you have deducted the points from your account to cover the reservation.

If you do not have sufficient points to use for a Redemption intended to be paid with points 15 days prior to your reservation, Marriott Bonvoy reserves the right to cancel your reservation. See terms and conditions.

That's the verbiage I had on my reservation....but when I clicked on "deduct your points now", nothing happened. A window popped up and then failed to load (tried using several different browsers.) In the end, I called in to have the points applied to the reservation.

The same thing happened to me, although I just assumed that it was a pop up blocker or something at my work so figured I’d try it at home. But earlier I’d emailed MB and they deducted the points for me. So I’m set. The whole thing about the points needed for reservation possibly going up made me nervous that I might not have enough points, but all’s well that ends well. tls

Couldn't book due to no credit card info
 
Couldn't book hotel online or on App because no credit card info. It's absurd as I just booked two days ago and my credit card won't expire until 2024.

I tried to add to my profile and Marriott.com can not show the payment card section due to some bug:

https://www.marriott.com/aries/stand...-icon-dark.svgWe’re temporarily unable to display the information you requested.Please try again later.

Anyone has the same issue?

tomwhom Jan 20, 2020 12:02 am

Update: Just booked via App as I have to reenter my card again during booking while couldn't on desktop Marriott.com .

I'm really fed up with so many Bonvoy IT issues!

I'm also getting this. I wonder if Marriott is tracking how much lost revenue their IT problems cause for the business.

With their IT issues, I doubt they can track that.

This was a problem for several months last year, but it eventually went away or got fixed. Guess it’s back. :(
