Actually, I recall reading something that the member's stay must match the other rooms stay, and since the parents stay does not match MPG has cause to deny points for the other room. I hope they don't and many properties are known to mess up (sometimes in favor of the member) so anything can happen. I would even go as far as submitting for the missing points if they don't show up. A way to facilitate this in the future might be to ask the FDC to move all the charges from the other room to the member folio and then you'd just about be assured to get the points.

Was this activity all at the same hotel? The odd wording makes it appear these may have been three separate hotels. If you were all at the same hotel you should get points for all three stays. If you were at two or three different hotels you account should be shut down.

When have accounts actually ever been audited? ............I have never heard of one.

No offense taken I prefer the benefits to be tightly defined and not subject to loopholes like this as well. I also think they should more tightly control points and nights credit when not checking in. There should be a check in place where you only get the points if positive ID provided, no way around. Not your wife, not your father, mother, child etc without exceptions. No benefits if primary not present either. I know of a few people who basically share a "family" account and Marriott and especially SPG seemed to condone this.

All at the same Westin.

Earning points on additional rooms - just base points or also elite status bonus?
 

Hey everyone,

I can't find the answer to this so just wanted to check with the great minds here..

If I book 2 rooms, I'm aware I will not receive elite night credits for the 2nd room, but understand I will earn points for the 2nd room.. My question is; will I only receive base points for the 2nd room, or will I also receive my 75% Platinum Premier bonus points on top?

Thanks in advance

Two rooms for one night - is it two night stay?
 

If i book two rooms under my name for one night, does that count as a two night stay (2 rooms x 1 night each)?

Asking for meeting 50 night requirements for platinum.

It's one night. No multi room credit.

nope another SPG perk that has gone.

yes to all. The best thing is to have the charges from the 2nd room transferred. One folio, one total, less chance for MR to mess up. That has consistently worked for me over the years. Always received credit plus bonus.

Under the old SPG program, this would not result in 2 credits. Or it might, but it could be caught later under review/audit. Per the program rules, you can't be in two places at once.

Google turns up multiple hits on this question at insiders.marriottrewards.com, but unsurprisingly it's not available.

Against the T&Cs (member can't be in two places at once). When/If discovered can result in credit reversed. If deemed chronic, can result in account being closed.

Not sure why it needs to repeated so often but the program is for the benefit of the member, not anyone/everyone the member might know.
