Can a Platinum member get benefits for a reservation under spouse’s name?
My wife uses her free night to book a room at a The Luxury Collection hotel and I’m a Marriott platinum member. Is there any chance we will still be able to get the benefits for a platinum member, like free wifi, free upgrade, lounge access …?

Lounge access no longer is a published benefit of Plat status at LC properties. [It was under SPG.] Some properties may continue to offer it, but others such as apperently The Nines in Portland do not.

IME, I get on-site benefits when showing my card at check-in. A friendly request will go a lot further than a DYKWIA moment. This is not required by the program but a goodwill effort by the property.
