Anyone ever had luck convincing a Marriott property to accept points when it’s unavailable? The property is blacking out the Friday night so that 5 night stays aren’t possible

In all seriousness, has anyone had their Marriott Suite Night Awards honored in the last year? I’ve done it for multiple properties and have yet to see them go through (Titanium member for reference).

I have a personal Marriott, Hilton, and IHG credit card and receive the yearly reward nights for each. I also have an LLC for my rental property under my name. If I open business credit cards for each, would I receive another free night each?

Best Marriott property in Amsterdam? Location and value wise? Plan to do 5 nights on points but seeing mixed reviews on several of them

Marriott nights question: you can't get extra nights if you have more than one room booked at the same hotel on the same night, but I believe you can if you have bookings at different Marriott hotels on the same night. Can anyone confirm this?

Buying Marriott Bonvoy points. Looking for total of 200k pts. Need to purchase from 2 separate folks (100k each) per Marriott annual transfer limits.

Get some cash before they devalue these suckers more or we hit a recession😉 funding a big trip coming up.

Would also trade AA miles or buy you a flight instead (gives me better valuations with other points pools I need to deplete)

So is Marriott Vacation Club Ownership really still a terrible idea? No longer traveling for work so points aren’t coming in these days but curious on whether there are insights from the fish community

Planning a stay at cosmo Las Vegas. If booked through Marriott, what benefit do you get as ambassador? If book through Hotwire, do I get any benefits as ambassador? Breakfast or elite night credit?

Want to go to Asia in mid Nov for a holiday - best use of ~250k bonvoy points? Considering places from Korea/Japan to other SEA countries like Malaysia/Thailand

I still have a 35k Marriott free night set to expire 6/30 if anyone wants it. I have titanium status so it should also come with free breakfast and a pretty good upgrade chance (especially if it’s only a one night stay). Let me know if anyone wants to buy at a discount, would much rather see someone use it then it go to waste.

Anyone have the Bonvoy Boundless Credit card looking to split the referral bonus? Thinking about applying and the added 20k points May be enough for me to pull the trigger..You would net 20k as well! Pm me if interested!

Has anyone had any luck with booking Q Suites to the Maldives? TPG posted an article about this with multiple cities from the US listed. I searched the Qatar Airways site today for about an hour and couldn't find any availability out of LAX.
I have Marriott Points that I can transfer to British Airways and then transfer to Qatar Airways but I don't want to do this until I find award availability! Thanks in advance!

What’s the benefit of being an ambassador elite at Marriott? So far having a harrowing experience where the ambassador (since the last three years) repeats the same crap that’s available (on the website) for any other member. Don’t see the point of even having an ambassador.

Can someone explain how the Bonvoy annual gift choice works (especially for multiple reached levels)? Which ones of them is worth choosing?

I am away from my companies laptop to check for works. Can anyone help with discount codes for personal stay at good hotels?

Best Marriott hotel in London? Visiting for three days at the end of June.

Marriott titanium elite - is complementary parking a standard benefit for elites or is it up to hotel discretion?

I haven’t had any issues with stays so far and its always been comped but just wondering if that’s standard

Anyone have suggestions for how to ask for a comped night? I used points to book a 5 night stay through Marriott in London. The AC is broken (continues to blast heat) and when I called the front desk he said I wasn’t the first to complain and he’ll ‘try to get maintenance to come tomorrow’ and his suggestion is to just ‘open a window’. I’m on the first floor so definitely not opening a window. At this point it’s so hot I can’t sleep and want to figure out a way to get my points back.

Anyone else agree that Bonvoy has gone to $hit? Points are worthless, lounges seem non-existent, etc. Have any of you made the loyalty pivot? If so, to what brand?

Has anyone reserved a Bonvoy hotel room through Points Advance reservation? I’m looking to do this (I’m a few weeks away from having enough points from work travel) but am worried about the number of points required going up. Does anyone know if they do this?

Ideas for a weekend getaway within driving distance from DC? No beaches please, looking for mountains or lake / river / hiking where I can stay using Marriott points ideally.

We are stopping off in London for 24 hours on our way to the Maldives. I am looking for a Marriott property and there are many (Sheraton, Renaissance, Moxy, etc) close to Heathrow. They are all relatively cheap at under 100 GBP. Is this because the area near the airport is unsafe? Should I spend a little more and stay further from the airport? I would like to see some sites in our 24 hours but honestly just looking to have a few pints and fish and chips.

Anyone here work for Marriott, specifically in HR? I’ve been looking at different positions and would like to learn more.
