I wrote a letter to Marriott about my rewards redemptions. They will know my wrath
Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became Marriott Platinum, from a hotel that doesn't care
From a small town in Oklahoma born and raised
In the concirge lounge is where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And eating hor dourves outside by the pool
When a couple of SVP's, who were up to no good
Started taking away as many elite benefits as they could
I took advantage of the benefits and Marriott Rewards got scared
"Forget your BOGO's, Gift Cheques, and Points redemptions" they declared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
License plate said "Hilton" and had a VIP pass in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to my Hilton Lair!
I pulled up to the hotel about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, homes smell you later!"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To sit in the lounge, in my permanent new chair
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became Marriott Platinum, from a hotel that doesn't care
From a small town in Oklahoma born and raised
In the concirge lounge is where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And eating hor dourves outside by the pool
When a couple of SVP's, who were up to no good

With Hilton's recent redemption devastation, you're jumping of the Fresh Prince's coat tails and hitching your wagon to Jazzy Jeff - not an upgrade.
If you want to go somewhere, make it SPG.

Pooker, you certainly weren't lying about being bored tonight. Haha. Sorry you never got your story about non-employees trying to get the employee rate!
