One also has to enter their birthday (month and day) in their profile setting online.

I got the email, clicked on it received the confirmation and, is anyone actually surprised, no night credited. Calling Marriott a dumpster fire right now is an insult to dumpster fires.....

We would suggest you to call Marriott Rewards at 1-801-468-4000 to check on this. For members who are outside USA and Canada, you may locate the phone number of the Marriott Rewards customer service here.

Birthday Elite Night Credit

Has not posted despite birthday on October 10. Does everyone have to chase Marriott for it or is it random? Typically how long do you have to wait?

I never got one under the old Marriott system and could never figure out why. Haven't gotten one since the program merged and became Bonvoy either

You would need to have your birthday listed in your account, before your birthday, and you would also need to opt-in for email communications (News & Program Information under your Communication Preferences) with Marriott Bonvoy. It is important to also note that the Elite Birthday Gift promotion is targeted, and solicited members will receive an email with an offer for one free Elite Night credit in which they would have to register through the emailed link to receive Elite Night credit.

Tried going into my account to change birthday, which is wrong. Won’t allow me to change it.

I received an email from Marriott in 2018 that said:

"A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE AWAITS.
Let's celebrate you, NAME. Add your birthday to your member profile and you'll get a special gift each year."

I added my birthday and received the 1 elite night birthday credit in 2018. However, in 2019 I didn't receive anything for my birthday -- and yes, I'm still opted into all communications and receive marketing emails from Bonvoy weekly. It's a bit disappointing that the email promised "a special gift each year" in exchange for adding more personal info to my profile, and then Marriott isn't following through on their side of the deal.

FYI: You're not getting your special gift each year from now on. Same thing happened to me in '18, no birthday gift this year either, it's not worth bothering about.
