Gift cards

Anyone with the Marriott Visa have experience with purchasing these and getting the 3 points per dollar spent? Also, any recent problems with using these for hotel stays?

Thanks.

My daughter got them for us for Birthday and Christmas presents. We used them problem free. I seem to remember that you have to tell the front desk about them at check-in. We did that, and they seemd to not care. Presented them again at check-out, and got them applied right away, and received an updated bill for the remainder on the credit card.
If you plan on express check-out, I probably would not use them. I also seem to remember that they were not good for everything, i.e. restaurants, gift shops, etc, but I'm really not sure about which.

I have bought these before and did not get 3 points per dollar as I was hoping. i did contact Bank One and the person called me back saying that this purchase is not eligible for 3 points per dollar. Maybe you will get lucky.

No such luck. I bought $3k worth and got the 1 point per dollar....drat! I wonder if I could have bought them at a property and put them on my room. Might try that at some point in the future.
