Do you ever request a certain amount of points or just leave it to the hotel to decide? Dealing with Marriott ruining two nights of vacation and feel like they will lowball me so im debating saying something like I think 2 nights points are adequate but it is way more forward them I would typically ever be🫣

I sometimes do this, but it’s not consistent as to whether it helps or not. I would try requesting the 2 nights in this case as it’s unlikely they’d offer that much.

Usually best to speak to the GM before checking out.

In that case, it's time to go up the chain
