Chris,

Any update?

Thanks!

Not yet. Don't worry - I haven't forgotten about this issue, and I will post again when I have more information.

Have a good day.

Hello,

As I will not be making a hotel stay through this weekend, I am willing to give away a Bonus Buck (BB) to whoever needs it. The expiration date is May 1, 2007. The BB amount is for $100 and can only be used at Marriott Hotels and Resorts, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, or Renaissance Hotels & Resorts. If anyone is need of this BB, please send me a private message (PM) with your name and address and I will mail it to you.

Hello,

I made this announcement on another thread, but I have a BB available to give away to someone who needs it for this weekend as I will not be able to use it. The BB is for $100 and can only be used at Marriott Hotels and Resorts, JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts, or Renaissance Hotels & Resorts. The BB deadline is May 1st.

Please send a PM along with your name and mailing address and I'll mail it to you.

Marcell

Very kind of You, but if You dont send it Overnight Delivery they most likely wont get it in time to use by 5/1.

For those who dont know You must check-in by 5/1 so a stay for 5/1-5/3 should work

Marcell, at this late date it's best to send it to your recipient c/o the hotel.

Nice offer Marcell. I'm staying at the Gateway for Freddies (arriving tomorrow morning around 9am) but am hoping to use a B1/G1 & IIRC, you can't combine B1G1 & BB. Of course given your post in a dif thread that the Gateway has changed its policy on whether Th/Fri qualifies as the weekend & won't let me use it, then I'll cancel that ressie & use my fallback one which is less expensive & then I could use the BB. But given my timeframe of arriving tomorrow (Thurs) am & not knowing where in So. Virg you're at, might not be doable. Appreciate the generosity though.

Cheers.

Sure you can't --- NOT!! :D :D

How can I get BB's as I stay at Renaissance in St louis for 2 weeks every month of 2007. Never gotten any freebies yet!

I asked a guy from ebay, he told me that his coupons (Premium Pounds/valid until Nov 07) don't have this restriction. can anybody confirm this information?

Ironic: asking a guy on eBay about the detailed T's & C's of the certificate... :D ;)

Since Bonus Bucks are not issued by Marriott Rewards, it is taking longer than expected to find resources to help answer this question. I sincerely apologize for the delay and I appreciate your patience. Again, when I have additional information, I will post an update.

Kind regards,

Thanks Chris for keeping Us updated and letting Us know you havent forgotten about it^

Update
 

Well, well. Much to my surprise, a replacement bonus buck coupon arrived in the mail today from hotel manager (Atlanta Renaisance) with a very nice, very apologetic letter.

I have to say - while the initial experience was not terribly pleasant, I am quite pleased with how it was handled in the end. I had written the whole thing off in my mind (as I lack the patience to hunt a correct certificate down), and would have avoided that hotel in the future. Now, I have just the opposite expectation. Kudos to the manager. Well done.

By the way, the expiration date is late August, 2007 - just shy of 3 months of today.

Don't forget a good resource is your local consumer reporter. They are usually very aware of the local state laws and are more than happy to champion a good cause. A local hotel recently was called to task when they advertised "Stay and Park Free", but failed to say you had to pay a higher room rate. The "Free Press" didn't help the hotel much and they agreed to change the billboard. :)
