Marriott deserves some praise
I don't often post favorable comments about frequent traveler programs, but Marriott does something very well that most programs fail to perform even at a satisfactory level. I just had my double points promo (Visa) post with no delay. In fact every promo which I have qualified with Marriott has posted right when it should have posted.
Airlines are terrible at posting promo's. Credit card like AMEX are even worse. But Marriott does a good job.
Thanks Marriott.

Unfortunately, you only get the elite bonus on the original points, not the doubled ones.
