Got all the emails, so I can even flood them with it if they wish...
I corrected my post above. Family member should have received 3X500 + 11X50. Instead he got 1X500 + 12X50, so there is definitely an error here, not just a lag. I kept all the confirmation emails.

So I suggest that everyone be vigilant about what gets posted to your account especially if you won one of the bigger prizes.

Still nothing for us. On top of that my 2x 5 nights stays in Australia first half of Nov remain missing. Time to send an email to SPG champion to request manual posting as I suspect they will never show up automatically.

I'm not sure if the 500 posted is for the 29 Wins (in which case not sure why the others haven't posted) or if the 500 points is for something else.

Cheers.
That 500 points is from this:

For sure the description is lame given the number of people who have no idea what it's for!

Thanks for that! I didn't get an email so had no idea what it was for.

I also remember MAR (or maybe it was UA) running batches on Sat, so I don't expect the points until next weekend - or again in Jan. Given I'm looking at only give or take 2K I'm not worried.

More importantly I need to find some folios where I got shorted points.

Cheers.

My points have all posted corectly, with December 8 as the date, but I haven't yet heard any more about the four nights I also won. My family member has not yet had any points posted.

I'm happy to be vigilant, if only they'd give me some of my hard-earned 29 Ways to Play points to be vigilant with...

I had a 10,000, 2 X 1,000 and 10 X 50 points, however they have posted the 10,000, but only 1 X 1,000 and 11 X 50 so I'm short 950 points. I kept all the emails listing my wins, so I may need to fill their mailbox with them if my first inquiry does not meet with success.

Nothing posted for me yet. From an IT integration point of view this would be the greatest fail yet.

I was able to play the game every day and it correctly identified if I'd already played that day. I won nothing but 50 points about half the time. However I didn't receive a single email notification of my haul. So it wouldn't surprise me if I didn't get the points either. All ~500 of them.

Oh puhleeze. THIS is the greatest IT Fail? First, the points aren't technically supposed to post until end of Dec or early Jan per the T&Cs of the sweeps. That some are getting them early & others later in batches doesn't make it 'the greatest IT fail'. Heck there are legit IT Fails re: our accounts/stays/points/stays posting, etc. Let's keep this in perspective please & save the hyperbole.

Cheers.

Add to this that theres a third-pary in the mix. Its not clear how that relationship works - maybe the Marriott system sent said third-party bad data in some (several?) cases, maybe their vetting plays a role. I would doubt, though, that once an account has been processed there will be any further revisit without account holder intervention (if a few hundred points here and there warrants such - I will only be complaining if my 10,000 or perhpas 1,000 point wins fail to eventually appear).

Let me clarify. *For me* this would be the greatest IT fail. The merger has been straightforward for me so far with nothing going wrong in merging accounts. *For me*.

No need for the high horse or the curious raised voice outraged spelling of the word "please".

Classic fail. I got 11 x 50 and 1 x 500. I'm owed 2 x 500. Do I bother chasing these points? Likely, no.
