Did you submit the 2 items on one claim, or complete 2 separate claims?

I do wonder how much of this horrible transition is just because of things we hear from others, the vocal minority. OTOH it seems like they're doing everything they possibly can to annoy and rile up there loyal guests. Isn't the number one rule of addressing a PR issue, actually addressing it? Updating the community on a fairly regular basis makes it, at the very least, seem like you care. This whole transition just projects apathy and incompetence.

1) my status is one level lower than it should be (Platinum instead of Plat Premiere)
email to customer.care not responded to
2) I didn't get points for a stay. Contact with customer.care email was a difficult wake up call - what a downgrade from SPG Plat..
It eventually worked out after 3 emails and a request to have me email the front desk for the invoice, but the email wording was very difficult to understand.

Completed a stay at a Marriott property on September 4th which never posted to my account, so I submitted a missing stay request 10 days after. No response or posting, so I called in a few days later and the phone agent made a note of it and said I should see it post within 72 hours. On September 25th, I called in again and the lovely, super-helpful phone agent found it and posted it immediately to my account. Didn't know it would take three weeks and three different attempts to chase a stay down.
Here's the best part: after all this, I received an e-mail minutes ago from Marriott Guest Services saying that the stay in question was already posted to my account. Me: ...
Oh, Marriott.

Their last response to me was that they are unable to do any manual posting and I need to wait until they fix their system, and no anticipated timeframe for when things will be fixed. I just want to know do I check back in a week, a month, a year.....
I wonder how they would feel in our shoes. It seems they just don't care but I imagine they must, at least a little.

I guess I never paid enough attention before this, mostly because things just worked 99% of the time.

I've been disappointed in the post-merger customer service as well. I have an upcoming cash-and-points reservation where the number of points required decreased with the merger, but I'm afraid to call Marriott to have the points adjusted because the website has two different cash prices listed (old price and new higher price).
I also don't want to sit on hold for an hour as a LTPP. Making your top-tier elite members sit on hold for an hour is unacceptable. Why can't they implement a system like the airlines, where top tier is answered almost immediately, and then everyone else has to wait accordingly based on loyalty program status? Marriott had this pre-merger.

CS not doing well. I don't have major technical issues but can't get anything answered properly.
I used to get Starponts for flying with China Eastern. I have stopped getting even though I should still post Aig 18 according to lurkers.
The first email back said that I am set to earn Marriott points but that I can switxh to miles. No, I don't want that. So I email back don't do that. Next email back says to call and they can help me figire out my Marriott #.
Huh?
Of course I call Aistralia number where I am - no pickup.
Reality though is every prop I have been to ispacked. Absolitrly. My guess is regular travelers like us are upset but normal ones fine. Marriott might relize they don't want or need us ince they so big

I would never have thought I'd ever say this - but I got Hilton Diamond through the Aspire card, and Hilton keeps positively surprising me almost as much as Marriott keeps negatively surprising me...

I received a ridiculous response to one of my many customer service (i.e. Marriott Rewards points balance correction) requests. Four requests sent over two months, and one response.
The response: Well, clearly, nobody even read my request. My request was "you vastly, vastly under-credited points to my account for a stay". Their response was: "we've investigated your request, and see that the stay in question has already posted to your account. Case closed."
Grrrrrr.
Given how many of us are missing points . . . and the fact that Marriott has pushed out absolutely NO communication or updates acknowledging this or what (if anything) they're doing to fix it . . . and given that customer service attempts to get MY points correctly credited are fruitless . . .
How long until a class action law firm gets involved in this mess?
I'm not a lawyer, but it sure seems like this mess is turning into a ripe opportunity for a class action...

I notice that the extra booking that I have on the apps is on FP Sukumvit Bangkok. I have 2 back to back reservation with this hotel on early Jan (4-5 JAN and 5-6 JAN). Both are booked using rewards points.
Surprisingly I have 2 booking on 5-6 JAN, one have 9 digits confirmation numbers which I can find it on my email. The other has only 8 digit numbers which I cannot even find in my email. I also cannot find that in the web.
What is really going on. Lukers?
