Read the T&Cs for yourself and decide. I'll bet, worst case, they will grant a "one-time exception" for the meeting.

If you want to join the fun debate about the interpretation of the leaked new Marriott Rewards T&C for the merged program and website language (e.g. members.marriott.com rewarding events page), then join the thread Rewarding Events changes after August 18 to see the prior discussion and exact language (specifically .

To state that there are different interpretations of the language about rewarding events and the 10 nights applying either only to the first meeting or to each meeting contract would be putting it mildly, to say the least :p

Seems to be normal.

Works for me on the desktop. Try again.

Sometimes I've had bizarre link issues where sporadically the links in forum posts here link as

Code:

https://www.flyertalk.com/!restoftheurl
The key part is that it shows not found due to the ! (exclamation mark).

Thanks for reopening Bruce :)

Question for people who did the Rewarding Events before the Aug 18:

I moved a bunch of meetings to Marriott, and ended up during the year getting 80 elite nights via the Rewarding Events (average spend per meeting was $900, these were 'real meetings'). I was Platinum Premier as supposed to be once the new programme launched. However, once I merged my SPG + Marriott, even though my total nights are now at 99 (80 rewarding events + 19 paid), I am only Platinum Elite, not Platinum Premier.

In my book, I should be PP.. anyone else in same boat? I've emailed Marriott but likely won't get a response for a while..

I had a similar issue where it showed Plat premier online and app it just showed plat elite. They fixed it but I still havent merged my accounts yet. Just wait till IT fixes the issues, its the same issue with nights and lifetime levels. Dont worry I dont think they'll screw you. The merger didnt go very well, today is the 23rd and still problems.

Updated the participating brands in the FAQ per https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/ear...ding-events.mi - basically added Starwood hotels & Protea, and updated the brand names. Residence Inn, TownPlace, and Executive Apartments continue as non-earning/non-participating brands.

Caution: for those stumbling across this thread, please read through the post-Aug 18 thread linked at Post #3053 above by bdschobel, and note that the Group Posting Tool will be new to former Starwood brands & properties so YMMV!

Yes, Fairfield does!

Question for those who did quite a few meetings, does your account let you choose the SNAs/other options ?

I did a couple of meetings but fall short on 50 hotel nights, but over it with meetings, yet unable to choose SNA or the other options.

Weirdly the website in my status bar towards ambassador shows only the hotel night count whereas the app shows my yearly night count. So I'm a bit lost here as to if there is any logic behind how Marriott is counting here or if it's just a bug.

There's another thread that covers that specific topic, today late afternoon they probably made a system sweep and most of the statuses finally mapped correctly:

Showing as platinum status when I was Marriott platinum prior to merger

I don't think anyone can pick SNAs yet, can they?
