Platinum benefits, what does +1 mean?

Hi,

I'm wondering what the +1 means in the following platinum benefits mentioned at marriott.com. Does it mean that a platinum member staying at a moxy gets 10 USD F&B credit per day when staying alone and 10 + 10 = 20 USD per day when staying with +1? Or is it 5 USD per person when a room is occupied with 2 people?AC Hotels, Moxy Hotels
United States, Canada, Europe: 500 Points per stay or U.S. $10 F&B credit per day for Member +1**

**The U.S. $10 F&B credit per day for Member +1 is limited to the Member and one (1) guest, as long as the guest is staying in the same guestroom as the Member.

Thanks in advance!

Marriott's chart reads as $10 for you and $10 for your other guest. That being said, the later posts here note a different interpretation from some properties. They might be misinformed, or Marriott's chart is misleading.

That would be the way a reasonable person would read "$10 F&B credit for member + 1 guest, daily": Platinum Elite member, $10 daily, and if there's a second guest in the room, another $10 daily for that guest, but not for a 3rd or 4th guest in the room.

Marriott specifying "+1" would be completely meaningless and unnecessary if the amount was always just $10 daily, whether the Platinum guest was staying alone, sharing the room with a second guest, or had a whole family in the room.

Marriott's chart is not misleading. According to Marriott's Loyalty Program Terms & Conditions, 4.3.c. Platinum Elite Membership Benefits. "**The U.S. $10 F&B credit per day for Member +1 is limited to the Member and one (1) guest, as long as the guest is staying in the same guestroom as the Member."

The concept, which one hotel told to a guest, that the member + 1 need to share the $10 F&B credit together, makes as much sense as saying that breakfast for a member + 1 (at a brand that offers this as a welcome gift) means the two of them need to share the same cup of coffee, the same glass of juice, the same breakfast item, and perhaps the same fork, instead of each getting their own.
