Did a search but couldn't find anything. I recently setup a reception at a Marriott hotel and one of the options on the event form was to charge to a guest room. I selected this option, and the reception charges, which exceeded $3,000 were indeed on the bill and paid at the time of checkout. I just wanted to make sure that the full 10/points per $$ spent on room charges would be applicable to event charges. Anyone had similar experience? Thanks in advance.

Click on the see program details and qualifications here link. From what I understand, and I have no first hand experience, if this is a contracted event/meeting/banquet then the only way you get points is if you meet the qualifications set forth under the meeting/events link provided above. Kind of hokie if you ask me. Then again maybe you will get points by charging the banquest to your room. Others may have more concrete insight as to the possible outcome.

BTW, have the points for your room posted yet? If they have, then charging the $3000 to your room did not work. Meettings/events may well be coded in such a way that those charges, like taxes, vendor charges, etc. don't earn points. If the points for room have not yet posted, then time will tell.

Contact the event planner at the hotel to get your points on your account. When I have done this, there are limits, but if you are a good customer, the hotel may be willing to charge the maximum allowed points for several months to get you all your points. From past experience, it seems the hotel has post them manually.
