However, in rereading what you posted, I think what you're referring is is when will they be downloadable? In the past people have been able to book the BOGO ressies in advance because MR knows what the dates are/property list, and then people just download the form when actual stay comes up. You'd think that would be the case here, especially since the start date is this Friday so the forms need to be available by then. Marriott's cutting it close.
Cheers.

And that was noted previously. Dates are different, which made a lot of people unhappy.

Where would the coupon normally be available? In what section, I mean.

Thanks for the clarification. I have never used the coupons, is there a good basic instruction on how to use them once they are posted? Sounds like it's not only a link / rate code.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Print out the Marriott Website page showing the EEO offer. That's your coupon. Make a copy and put it in your suitcase. Even though you can print out a copy from the hotel, if you don't have it at check-in, it can cause a problem. Put one of the copies in your suitcase as a back-up.
When you arrive at the hotel, make sure your stay notes you are using the coupon, give one copy to the desk, keep the other.
After your bill is slipped under the door, go down to the front desk and make them correct your bill so that you get the free night.
Check your credit card statement about one week later. Call the property and have them adjust the charge to correct the extra charge for the second night.

We always take a copy of the BOGO restaurant certificates, too-just in case we decide to each dinner in the restaurant.

It's seriously annoying that the certificate is not up. Makes Marriott look bush league. I somewhat understand that not every front desk employee is going to know how to do the free night, but it usually gets straightened out in a few minutes if there is a problem. But not uploading them to provide the date and property list is inexcusable because it takes NO EXTRA EFFORT from somebody to get them up on time. They will get uploaded no matter what, so why not do it in advance.
And yes I'm looking to use one this weekend and I actually have doubts if the certs will appear in time despite the fact the agents on the phone know the dates already (but apparently not the property list).

Well, I need it for this weekend!!! Keeping my fingers crossed. I guess i'll just check my account in the business center to print them off. They never know what to do w/them anyway, always loose them, so what does it matter if I give it to them at check-out or check-in?
