Plat Premier 2014 Gift

Thanks Marriott for the Battery Stick to charge my smart phone. You researched this present very well!!

But, does anyone know how to tell if the stick if fully charged? A red light comes on when I plug it into my computer to charge, but when will it be fully charged??

I appreciate this gift. I am sure we will have our handful of complainers, but I think this is a creative gift idea on Marriott's end.

But of course. Yes, it beats the useless app of 2 years ago. I actually like & use the toiletry bag from last year.

But you can buy these chargers on Amazon for about $10 including shipping. If you are going to carry one around, why not a higher capacity? But it is a thoughtful gift and really the only tangible benefit for PP. Top 3% of customers and a $10 rebate back!

But give me a few Suite upgrades I can actually use on personal trips any day.

It's not about what you would prefer, it's about what is more cost efficient for Marriott.

I would think that a battery pack would take a long time to charge via USB on computer! It probably outputs 1A and USB is only charging the pack with .5A

Looking forward to my PP package when I get back home on Thursday.

Has everyone received these? Do I need to start checking if my Postman has a new charger?

I assume this only applies to US based Plat Prems? I've never received any sort of gift from Marriott
