Marriott Bonvoy advertising campaign
I was amazed to see Marriott taking up a whole 4 pages in the Times Saturday supplement today. Clearly needing to fill hotels. People will be shocked when they see the prices well above those advertised. Are Marriott struggling to fill their hotels? It doesn’t appear so.

For at least the past 2 years, every single video I watch on IFE on American Airlines is prefaced by a Marriott Bonvoy ad - it's actually kind of a nice ad. Better than the migraine medicine ad on United yesterday that was so loud it gave me a migraine (and was subsequently followed by a Bonvoy ad).
I guess people still don't get what brands make up Bonvoy.

I gave up on binge-watching HBO shows on UA, because I got so tired of seeing idiotic Bonvoy ads every 24 minutes. They are spectacularly smarmy, PC, and pointless. Why not save the the vast sums they waste on advertising and just offer a better product?

What in the world would a non-PC advertisement be? I get that lots of people on this forum love nothing more than complaining about and criticizing Bonvoy. But, seriously, companies are going to advertise - an ad showing families getting together through travel seems like the last thing to complain about.

Having seen most Bonvoy ads in my time, I can only assume that he's upset that an advert would include anything other than straight white people.
Either that or he's using the old school version of "political correctness" and he's upset that the white men aren't groping the women and using colonial terms to harass people of other races.
