Marriott "annual free gift benefit" confusion..
This is my first time using Marriott Bonvoy.. and I stayed at a Marriott from 1 January - early March.. so I had 73 nights. I read a trick online that you can use the 50 night "annual free gift" benefit to choose 5 Elite nights and get over the 75 elite night hump to have another "annual free gift" selection. I did that today. I selected the 5 elite nights benefit which brought me to 78 nights this year and my status is now Titanium Elite.
On the dashboard of my profile there is a link to 'choose your 75 night annual free gift benefit'.. I click on the link but it's only showing me the 50 night redemption that I already made. Must I wait longer.. or more days before the 75 night benefit will show up? or is there a glitch on my account causing it to not allow me to select the 75 night benefit? It doesn't give me any way to select it right now. |
Was there really no prospect of you doing 2 more nights before the end of 2022? It seems to be quite the waste of the 50-night benefit.
It might take a few days before you are allowed to choose the 75-night benefit (presumably the free night certificate), but it should eventually be offered. |
In some years it has taken a day or two after the 50th Elite Qualifying Night (EQN) posts to my account until I can make my Annual Choice Benefit (ACB) selection.
In ten years of making Platinum Elite (formerly called "Gold") I have always selected the five EQN and never the five Suite Night Awards (SNA). I will continue to do so as a lifetime Marriott Bonv°y Platinum Elite, given my personal stay pattern, usage, and preferences. |

Once you are lifetime Plat, what is the point of 5 extra elite nights? To get to Titanium when you otherwise might not?
And the EQNs might come in handy if Marriott ever reinstates lifetime Titanium. :o Plus, SNAs do not seem that meaningful to me personally, so I could happily live life without one ever attributed to my name. :) This is a moot point now, because for the next seven years, almost all my stays will be in my wife's name, so she can join me as a lifetime Marriott Bonv°y Platinum Elite. :cool: 💕 (We are already both lifetime members of the United Club and Admirals Club; our 30th wedding anniversary is in two months; she is six years younger than me; and women generally live longer than men. :idea: ) |
