Marriott Points?

Hi, I do a bit of business travel and the booking is through 3rd parties. I've always been able to get Marriott points. Except now they're telling me that if it's through 3rd parties, then they don't honor the points. I mean, I'm still paying for it. Is that accurate???

If you book through 3rd party sites (such as hotwire, priceline, etc) you don't receive points (except for incidentals). The reason being that you're paying those sites directly & not Marriott.

If you're referring to something other (ie, client books you, corp travel agent), then you'd receive the points.

Cheers.
