All award reservations say “a certificate has been attached” whether you use a stay certificate or points.

Historically, stay certificates cannot be booked on the app. The only way to do it is via a web browser (which can also be on the mobile site). What you said seems to be completely opposite (even with Marriott’s IT system). Having said that, if you do book on mobile site or web browser, cert eligible booking will show up as a payment method first and you need to click down to use points instead of a certificate.

Doesnt look like in the new app you can viewing individualized points earning for past stays. Before you'd see how the balance is broken down of base points, elite bonus, 1,000 points, any promotions etc. Now it's all combined in one amount.

I can still see the breakdown for past stays. You have to click through to the stay and drill down.

Is there anything improved in the new app or should I keep the old one?

You can now retain search preferences (number of guests and rates).

I dislike the interface intensely and wish I could go back.

Sometimes it pays off not being an early adopter. 🤠

Unfortunately my iPhone is set to autoupdate apps. Overall I prefer that, but occasionally there's a downside.

Pre-update iOS retained rate preferences as well... (not sure about number of guests)

Personally a fan of the new UI. Don't use the app for much other than requesting house keeping or doing quick searches in a bind.

Yes but we already had that with the old app. I am perhaps not the best judge on how to allocate corporate resources but given current issues it sounds like there would have been better uses of Marriott IT manpower than rolling out a new app which does almost everything the same but looks different :confused:

I dislike this updated version as well... it's made it challenging to compare several hotels even with the grid feature.

The view portfolio/invoice feature doesn’t seem to work for me. Nothing happens when I click in the links even if they are highlighted. The links to call the hotel does work.

Anyone figure out where to find parking rates on the updated app? Under the amenities section, every hotel says Parking: Indoor/outdoor valet. Can't get prices anymore and don't want to call each hotel for rates.

Thanks!

It's in the same place where I looked in the previous app - on the final page just before you finalize the booking.

The New York hotels erroring out in a search issue has been fixed. It must of been a backend db issue as it didn’t get fixed with an update.
