Anyone else having problems booking on marriott.com today?
I just tried booking a room on marriott.com. When the Guest Info page comes up the "Credit Card Type" select list doesn't have any choices - only "Select Credit Card". Of course, when I submit the form, the computer system cheerfully tells me that credit card type is a required field, then presents the same form again - still with no choices for the card type. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a workaround besides calling Marriott reservations?

I'm running the firewall that comes with Windows XP - old-fashioned dial-up connection is good enough for me 
- could that really be sophisticated enough to block the contents of a <select> list? I'm not using any pop-up blockers or anything like that.
In any event I was able to work around the problem by changing the credit card in my Marriott Rewards profile to the card I wanted to use for this particular reservation. Somehow that made the list of card companies appear when I tried the reservation again. Annoying.
