I had a 10 nights paid stay from the 16th (the day the promotion began) checked out on the 26th and so far 0 nights or points credited never mind the bonus ones.
Staff on reception always wonder why I queue up to checkout rather than just do it through the app until I explain why I always need to get a paper print out of my reservation 🙄.

Christina, is this how Marriott will fix this issue going forward, ie manually and subject to CS’s interpretation of the rules like what just happened to @MarkCron (post # 476)? Or will IT fix their programming issues? It matters to me because I don’t think I’ll bother with any staycations if I have to chase Marriott to get the correct points/nights for every stay.
Thank you for your support. I’m sure it can’t be easy for you.

I called right away after the stay posted without the bonus and they claimed that I had to wait ten days. So I did... Now they've created a ticket that'll take 7-10 days to fix the issue... (why waste my time when they could have simply done this the first time around?).

Thank goodness for FT to help them identify all the issues and find work arounds!

Do the double elite nights count towards a status challenge?
Have a friend working on one and trying to decide how to plan out his travel.
