The who lost lounge access question is me for example. I was Marriott Gold Elite with 25 + nights a year which allowed me lounge access. Yes I was made a Platinum Elite (last August) until Feb. 28th, 2019 which is now over. I am now downgraded to Gold Elite again (as I did not make 50 nights in 2018) so I no longer have lounge access. I am one of many I assume that with Marriott Rewards had lounge access but starting Mar. 1st., 2019 we are the people you are asking about when you say " Who lost lounge access". I did.

In this instance, it's disingenuous to the many former-SPG members on the forum who, for many years, had a lounge-access elite level that they could earn by having 25 1-night stays.

She or he said they were a legacy Marriott gold, not legacy SPG.

Back to thread topic, I once again did not receive points on spa spend on most recent SGS stay. Can't tell if I did at St. Regis BKK, as the stay hasn't posted I'll be following up.

I appreciate your response however it was good enough for Marriott over the last 10 years (25 nights for Gold Elite which granted lounge access) and it was good enough for many SPG members as someone else posted. I am simply responding to the question of who lost lounge access. If my employer paid for 50+ nights a year in a hotel then I probably would stay more nights however being self-employed 50 is a big reach (from the 25-35 a year I have managed in the past). With the Bonvoy credit card offering 15 Elite night credits, and free stays counting as an Elite night it may be possible. Thank you for the challenge Marriott

Does the why really matter? They've provided the start date.

Yes I was made a Platinum Elite (last August) until Feb. 28th, 2019 which is now over. I am now downgraded to Gold Elite again (as I did not make 50 nights in 2018) so I no longer have lounge access.

Didn't realize there was a dedicated thread here for this promotion. I just posted the official link in one of the Maldives properties. This is great value/savings for folk staying at secluded destination resorts like the Maldives where you have no choice but to dine in the hotel's restaurant. I'll take 20% and 10x points any day!
You can read more of the terms and condition here..

It seems that the enhanced services varies from property to property, so there is no set policy for it. Who knows, you might get a 10 minute free or something. Just speculating.
Makes sure to settle the bill at the Spa or Restaurant to qualify for your bonus points and discounts. From the T&C, it says points or discounts won't be credited retro-actively.

I agree the deserved comment made above was unnecessary. But I'm confused. I thought SPG Golds did not have access to the exec lounge under the SPG program & it was something SPG Golds got temporarily when they were able to link their accounts w/ MAR, which then gave them MAR Gold/(then Plat) & exec lounge access temporarily (temporarily being if they didn't requalify for Plat; if they did, then they still get lounge access).

I tested this out Saturday night at the Marriott Manila. My husband and I had dinner at the steakhouse and after dinner drinks at the bar. I provided my Platinum number when receiving both bills and promptly received 20% off. We were not staying in the hotel. Haven't seen any points post but I was very happy with the discount.

Ice cream?
I’m Titanium Ambasador.
So my my three kids get ice cream free every stay? Every night? Or with a purchased entree?
and where is the list of participating Asia hotels for the 20% benefit?

I got 30% off a meal Sheraton Pudong when not a.guest, better than 20% under SPG. Great program.
My son got free ice cream at a resort. Not sure if he got because we ordered food but I don't think so.
Overall Marriott is making some positove changes and some negative.
If they can get it and corporate Cs better, I'd be happy. Program rules and on property service ok

A FT friend of mine is in China right now & he just emailed that through June 30th, properties in Greater China are offering 30% dine discount to elites.
Cheers.
