Am I right that only Plats get free internet? That benefit has saved me a small fortune, even though in four years of Plat I don't recall ever getting a suite upgrade at a FS Marriott.

I think it's a great program and it has been a major incentive for me to stay at Marriotts more over the years.
I do wish the benefits / recognition was better at resort properties in general, but it's great everywhere else. I'll certainly continue to stay at Marriotts after I reach lifetime status, but I suppose the incentive would be less for the "Resort" properties because I usually am not treated as special there.

Thanks Folks.. I did not realize Marriott had a soft landing policy.. I guess I might look at that final booking for the year again
