Worked fine for me in Chrome 39. Maybe try clearing cache and cookies? Getting an answer back after submission is my issue...

I think typically none allowed but worth asking. Probably cheaper to have a party someone else and pay for 10 nights at the hotel. Lol.

Alcohol is almost certainly not allowed. Other food you can probably buy a waiver for.

The below text was included in an offer sent to my by a European property:

Thanks that's what I figured but it didn't hurt to check.

Does anyone know if this is still the policy? I called a local MR to book a meeting and they couldn’t promise I’d get the elite night credits – they said it was decided by MR Rewards, not the hotel. She transferred me to MR Rewards, who said you have to book 10+ rooms. Should I just book a meeting and chance it?

MR is wrong. And the property is as well. You probably need to point them to the page on the Marriott website. However, I think I read that there's some type of paperwork that needs to go with it, so I wouldn't book a mtg & chance it. I'd do some homework, walk the property through how to do it, and then book it.

Cheers.

Not sure but,

I think you have to sign a contract.

Yes, never did one but that's been repeated over and over here...

Does anyone know a property in BKK that hosts meetings? I will be there in 2 weeks and will probably need 2-3 meetings scheduled. :-)

It's still the same deal. You do NOT need to book any room. However, not all hotels participate. Somewhere on Marriott website there used to be a list I think. Just call a couple of local CY or FF and you'll find it. I promise it's not the high level of rocket science that some indicate in this thread.

FWIW, I just did this today because I needed a place to do a video conference call with a client, and my office's network blocked the stupid connection.

I called up my local CY, talked to the sales lady briefly, and had it set up in less than 10 minutes. When I arrived, the contract was ready, which I signed. There is also an accompanying form that you put your Marriott Rewards number on and designate that account as the one to receive the points/credit. Seemed pretty simple to me. I called the property at 11 am this morning and was in my conference room at 1 PM.

The only thing I'm iffy on is that I didn't leave with a copy of anything or a receipt. It will get e-mailed to me. Will report back when I see the receipt and the points/nights credit.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. Here’s the issue: I’m being quoted one price online ($100) and another price from the actual hotel and the regional sales rep ($400). HUGE price difference. I called the hotel and they said it’s because there are two different systems – one for booking online, one for through the hotel/sales rep. When booking online for $100 it says nothing about Elite night credits. I asked if that can be added in after I book it and pay – hotel said no.

My problem is once I pay this $100 (+ taxes) I can’t get my money back. So I don’t know what to do. I’m guessing I’ll just book the $100 meeting, click “submit” (which I assume is the contract? Or do I sign that later?). And hope for the best? This is a FS Marriott in the DC area so I assume they participate in the rewarding events.

And I tried calling other hotels in the area, like a CY or FFI. As soon as they ask for my phone #, they see I inquired somewhere else and send me to the same stupid regional sales rep that wants to charge me $400/hour for every MR in the region. I am having no luck with this :/

Of course, the hotel sales rep needs his "taste". I have no idea if the online submission counts as a "contract", something tells me "no" unless there is something long for you to read and electronically "sign".
