I did book through Marriott.

I am still able to complete all the functions you were describing in the app.

App looks like it's working for me, too, on the most recent version.

That did not work.

I'm experiencing the same issues as the OP. I only ever book direct with Marriott or through the Ambassador line and some of my future stays have the rates and ability to cancel, while others do not. Time for a new version of the app to address these issues.

Just wondering, were any of the stays booked through a Marriott Stars/Virtuoso agent? I just noticed that my agents stays cannot be modified whereas my app stays can. This is annoying because I can still modify them on the website.

Beaucoup Bonv'°y! :cool:

You are conflating Android and Google Play Services. These are not the same thing at all. Most (all?) modern Huawei devices do not include GPS as a result of US government policy prohibiting Google or any other US company from working with Huawei. AppGallery, which was mentioned, is Huawei's app store.

I was able to use my Philippine-bought (early 2018) Huawei nova 2i, Model RNE L22, to download an app from the Google Play Store as recently as last month.

That is where I downloaded my MileagePlus X, UA, AA, DL, WN, PR, Marriott & Hilton apps.

Yes, I do have a Huawei AppGallery icon at the top right corner of my phone, but I have never used it.

Nope, none.

I just tested it.

Reservations booked through Stars/Virtuoso/Cash back portal are not able to be modified in my app

All other reservations can be.

Not sure if it's just my app?

All my reservations are usually through a cash-back portal (but directly with Marriott) - I can see none of my reservations on the app.

My theory is that the cash back portal is what is screwing everything up. I think all “agent” bookings are no longer modifiable in the app. Try a normal booking and let me know if you can modify it.

I have the same error. Booking made on Marriott.com; not using any cash back site. When opening check in for the stay it says that it’s not booked directly with Marriott… super weird.

I book all .my stays on the app, since the website is very unfriendly in displaying multiple rates, and all my stays display properly and I can cancel or modify. I never modify a reservation. If I need to change the reservation, I will book a new reservation and cancel old reservation

Your phone was released in 2017 and pre-dates the restrictions which were enacted in 2019.
