Yes, for this promo. Otherwise, go through another shopping portal and buy through giftcertificates.com. After it is over if you want to buy some Marriott gift certificates than pick your shopping portal(I usually use the Marriott mall-but if you have an ailrline programyou are trying to beef up points on )and buy them via giftcertificates.com |

Forgive my ignorance but is there a site called Marriott Mall or are u referring to their .com site..? (ddnt find M.Mall on google.) Does this mean; QUOTE Each AirIncentives Mileage Code valued at $50 can be exchanged for 1,550 airline miles. Each AirIncentives Mileage Code valued at $100 can be exchanged for 3,100 airline miles. UNQUOTE that evry 100$ GC allows us to get 3100 NWA miles..? too easy...?!! |

Q. Do Marriott Rewards or Marriott Miles members receive points or miles for Marriott Gift Certificate purchases? A. Points and miles are awarded to the card holder upon redemption of Marriott GiftCards. Points can also be earned if the GiftCards and Dinner for Two certificate is purchased using a Marriott Visa card. Marriott Miles and Marriott Rewards points are not awarded upon redemption of Dinner for Two certificates. Rewards points can be earned if Dinner For Two Gift Certificates are purchased with a Marriott Rewards Visa Card. |

I am going to recomend a wonderful site run by a great Flyer Talker Pgary http://www.freefrequentflyermiles.com/index.htm His "buying stuff "section will give you all the help you need. Good luck-I have acumulated over 300,000 miles by buying things I would shop for anyway via these portals. |

However, there is no benefit of doing this (unless there is some special promo through, e.g., NWA Mall) - - b/c if you wanted to maximize Marriott points then you shuld just get a Marriott Premier credit card and pay for your stays. The Marriott GC promo which is the topic of this thread is a special limited-time offer. The "AirIncentives Mileage" option that you note is simply buying miles - - 3100 miles for $100. |

You're dead wrong; these things are not new and it is hard to believe any CSR who has been around for more than one day would get it wrong. |
T&C Link?
Can someone please provide a link to the T&C noted above that indicates that gift cards can be redeemed. I've looked on the Marriott site but am unable to find it. By the way, thanks everyone for your feedback related to my earlier postings.

I have bought and used paper and plastic gift certs / cards over the years and never, ever, ever once failed to get the points from the stay when paying with those. I speak from numerous personal experiences.

No one answered my last question, so I'll ask another. If anyone has received their gift cards yet, how long did it take to get them?
