So a related question.
For a project, I am staying for 40 consecutive nights at a TownPlace Suites hotel. Weekends (and some weekdays), I am traveling. It's not worth it for me to check out for the weekends or the nights away, not the least important reason, it is paid for by others.
So, do if I stay at other Marriott properties during this time, will I get the nights for both? I am platinum elite (lifetime), but the extra nights -if I get them- will put me to titanium. Otherwise, I can work on my status at Hyatt (or other chain).
Thanks

2 rooms booked w/my Bonvoy#, at hotel, I paid for one, another Bonvoy paid the other
Marriott is telling me that in order to get the points for BOTH rooms, I would have to pay for both rooms myself
I was never aware of this policy?
The other person that paid for the other room was told that because the reservation was made under MY Bonvoy #, he cant get the points either even though
he paid for the room !
Something not adding up here.
At a minimum, one of us should get the points for the 2nd room right?

The other person who paid for the second room is entitled to the points/stay credit for that room. Hotel is wrong.
Theres a thread devoted to this subject.

Some hotels will change the Bonvoy number on the room occupied (and to be paid) by the other person, but the hotel could insist on canceling and rebooking the room at current prices since hotel rooms normally aren't transferable and minor changes often result in cancellation and rebooking at new rates.

Which was fine, but I didn't want to pay the extra so I didn't in the end, so didn't change the booking.

OK not to beat a dead horse, but when I stayed at a Marriott property earlier in the year, I provided my account #, the room was paid for by our travel office, yet I still got points

There are lots of examples of hotels not posting the points correctly. (It's happened to me plenty of times.) Just be aware that if it doesn't go the way you are hoping, that you won't have a leg to stand on to request missing points.
