Simultaneous Stays
I'll be staying in Dubai for six weeks for work purposes (at the Sheraton). Since I've never been to the UAE, I'm thinking of checking out Abu Dhabi and maybe a couple of other places at the weekends. If I stay at another Marriott hotel while still checked in at the Sheraton in Dubai, will both nights count for points and elite credits, or will it cause the whole of Marriott IT to blow up?

I think it will be safer if you stay at different chain altogether.
Emirates Palace Abu Dhabi looks nice
I believe the issue have been discussed before.
The most possible scenario is : your longer stays might be rejected by Marriott system due to the shorter stays post first.

It seems unwise to spend money to stay at overlapping properties, as well, when you can just as easily stow luggage with the concierge/front desk while staying elsewhere for a weekend.

But work is paying for the main stay 😜
Alright, this is exactly what I thought would be the case, but I thought I'd make sure! I'll just pick a Hilton instead! Still need the second stay for that 7500 points promotion anyway!

If work is paying for the main stay, then you should be fine! Just let the hotels know. You won't get elite credit for both, though. (Though most in similar situations do earn points at both even if they're not officially supposed to.)

How many nights credit
I recently stayed at a Springhill Suites in Savannah for one night with two rooms - should I get 1 night credit or 2 nights? Both rooms were paid for (not rewards) and I am a Gold - trying to get to Platinum and the 2nd night would really help!
Plus I only got a single elite bonus - should I get two?

I've done this with work - stay at main place in Dubai, check out for the weekend and stow luggage with concierge, check into new hotel in other city for weekend at same price or lower than main hotel, check back into main hotel on Sunday night/Monday - my work covered even my weekend hotel since they weren't paying for a hotel at the main site. Check with your travel dept to see if they will let you do this.

Maximum number of rooms to get points
Hi all,
wanted to ask a question to you. I’m planning a stay with family and friends where I’ll likely book 10 rooms at a courtyard hotel. The sales agent said one can only credit up to 3 rooms to one Marriott bonvoy account. If so, I’d need to use two or three Marriott IDs (parents and friends) but I wanna make sure. Does anyone know of such a limitation?
im titanium in case it makes any difference.
thanks!!!

thanks! This thread has been very informative.
since we’ll be staying for 7 days in 12 rooms (a wedding) would it make more sense to book this as an event? I know there’s no more 10 bonus night credits for events but how about points for all rooms?
thanks

Nights vs Stays?
Marriott properties are combining rooms on the same day under separate reservations with the same name (me) into one "Night".
When did this happen? I thought if I book 3 rooms on the same day at the same property it should be 3 "nights"...
Thoughts?
I understand for SPG previously, if i checked in 3 separate times on the same property its 3 separate stays and i got check in bonus and amenities 3 times...
