Do points stay count towards your total number of nights? If so, I'll reach lifetime Gold Thursday night ^

Unfortunately NO!

Kind of a seperate question but somewhat relevant. Do points purchased on marriott.com count toward total points? I assume the answer is yes but would like confirmation before I decide to top off my account to get me closer to lifetime status.
Thanks. |

sammy, I thought I read in the Lifetime status thread that purchased points count towards lifetime total. You might want to read through that thread to see if it's mentioned.
Cheers. I re-read through that threat and it is indeed mentioned that purchased points do count towards lifetime status. |
As others have pointed out already, stays on points currently do not count.
However, I seem to recall hearing a rumour that Marriott is considering changing this. Does anyone remember more details about this (whether it was just a rumour or something indicated by Marriott). I hope I didn't just start a rumour... |

Lagging behind Starwood!!
Why CAN'T Marriott change their rewards program to allow nights booked/stayed using points to count towards yearly total nights AND lifetime nights?! I commend Marriott for allowing Ritz-Carlton nights to count in nights' totals, but rewards stays should count too. Starwood allows rewards nights to count. And while I'm comparing...SPG did a free resort nights promo 2 years in a row (stay 2/3 nights and get a free night to use--similar to Hyatt). Meanwhile, Marriott keeps the same ole magabonuses. I understand one promo is a free night promo (2 nights max--SPG had no max)...to a Category 1-4 hotel. This works out great--if you want to take your family to a Fairfield Inn somewhere! Marriott...STEP UP TO THE PLATE and improve your rewards program!!!!!
