2007 Credentials
Just wondered if I was in the minority by not receiving mine yet. Seems like many folks reported receiving theirs back in early January...

I got mine last week.
Not that it matters. I don't think I actually ever use the card for anything except to occasionally read the number off over the phone.
Does anybody actually use their card for something?

I got mine sometime in January which I found in my stack of mail left for me while on a long business trip.
I have actually used my card when in the hotel in the gift shops to get my 10% discount, but other then that I don't remember ever having to get it out of the wallet for anything.

I haven't received mine yet. I figure mine should to be interesting as I only racked up 44 nights last year (counting the 15 CC nights.) But this is my 12th year in the program and I have the nights/points for lifetime Gold (almost there for LT Plat, but still need a few more points). So I am interested in if they will send me something or nothing.

I received mine several weeks ago, surprisingly early, and surprisingly keeping me at PLT after about 30 nights last year.

Just received mine last week. I actually hand them my card and CC when I check in. Just in case they don't have my MR number in the reservation. Seems to occasionally drop when I book thru our travel agency.

I still have not recived mine yet from not only marriot but other programs as well. I also have used the card for the gift shop discount which sort of brought things to a normal price

I ran a little experiment last year and found that if I produced the card with my credit card, I was more likely to receive an upgrade (that hadn't been pre-blocked) or some other special regard than if I didn't.
I know it shouldn't be that way, but that has been my experience...

I am a long time Platinum and have not received my card either. I sent an e-mail to Marriott about this last week, and received a response saying that I should receive the card within 3-4 weeks. We'll see.

For whatever its worth, I got mine (plat) about 3-4 weeks ago. Somewhat earlier than I was expecting.

I received my new plat card a few days ago. I noticed that the new card has a five digit number embossed below my name. Does anyone know what this number is for?

Same situation here -- I only had 27 nights and have a brand-new Platinum card valid through 02/08. Not quite sure if I'll come back or not since I haven't checked to see what my MegaBonus is yet.
