Time taken for Points to Post
 

I checked out of a Courtyard on Sunday, Jan 23, 2011.

When should the Points post?

Normally between 2-3 business days after check-out but I have seen it take over 2 weeks. Give it a couple of more days.

Depends. In my experience points usually post in 2-3 days.

Normally I got my e-bill on the third day after checkout (email often sent out around 4:00am) and the points posted on the same day, but I've seen it on as far as the fifth day. Marriott did that very good. I never missed one.

Points from a recent stay at the Ren Barcelona took about nine or ten days to post.

I usually seem them in 2-3 days

They ask you to wait 10 business days before requesting. Some hotels are incredibly quick and it happens the next day. Other hotels just never ever post without a call.

If you are really desperate for some reason (for example to book a trip or qualify for Gold/Platinum) then you can likely call and submit your receipt to be credited. I have had mixed luck with this.

Sometimes they are strict about every detail and sometimes you just get credited in minutes.

YMMV.

I completed a stay at Ritz Carlton Kyoto, checked out last Monday, but points have not been posted (1 reservation is under my father's name, but I am listed as the second guest, and my Marriott account number is attached to the reservation. the other reservation is under my name.)

it's been 8 days, so should I keep waiting or should I call Marriott to find out what's going on?

Not sure you'll get the points as a second guest in the room. Who's name is on the bill?
