Non-Stay Rewards Points & Airline Miles Posting if Choice is Mileage Earning
I'm sure some of you have experience with this if Marriott Concierge doesn't see this:
Since I'll need to have at least 3 stays in May at Marriotts that won't earn many Marriott points, I elected to go for the Delta Skymiles offer (I do still value the 5k Skymiles more than the much smaller amount of Marriott Rewards points that I would earn from these stays.) Since I changed my preference to Skymiles as a preferred partner:
1. None of my non-hotel stay Marriott rewards earnings have posted. These will still show up if my earnings preference is miles for hotel stays, correct? (I guess I shouldn't panic yet, it's been only 4 days since this non-hotel stay activity occurred.)
2. I do not see where the airline miles are suppose to post on Marriott.com . Will I see it under hotel stays the same way I see MR points show up? (I haven't earned miles with Marriott for years so am not sure how this shows up.)
I plan to go back to Marriott Rewards points earnings for hotel stays before the summer bonus period starts in June.

Hello Grizshel,
Just to clarify you are saying that your stay has not posted since you switched earning preferences?
Your Marriott Stay should post just as it always has. The point balance on your account will not change, due to the miles being sent directly to the partner.
You should be able to view the miles sent to the partner online when viewing your stay credit.
Please send me a message with your account number and details of the stay, and will look into why the stay credit hasn't posted.
Kind regards,
Marie

Hi Marie,
I am still waiting for both a recent hotel stay and gift card / credit card points to show up. If all of it doesn't show up this week I'll shoot you a PM.
I'm just not used to switching between earning points and airline miles for hotel stays, hence the uncertainty on my part. There's no problem with doing this other than (I assume), for this summer's bonus points offer, one has to reestablish the Marriott Rewards points earning preference on their account before the June 30 deadline - correct?

Yes make sure you switch your earning preference back for any stays you would like to post as points and want recognized under the summer promotion.
