For those that have used Marriot’s Suite night awards, have you been successful in getting upgraded? Do they tend to let you know 5 days in advance or right before the reservation?

I find it easier to use for 1-2 night stays and it clears a few days before

I did two separate one night stays about 6 days apart and was upgraded to a suite for both nights. Notified 5 days in advance.

like

If the suite is for sale five night in advance, you’ll be upgraded to it then. The only reason for being upgraded after that is if someone had booked the suite, so it wasn’t for sale at the five day mark, and subsequently cancels their reservation

I just booked on points and it was confirmed 5 days prior. Trip is for this weekend. I made sure to select all the room upgrade options for a better chance.

It’s worth it for longer stays since they’re less likely to give a complimentary upgrade. I successfully used suite night upgrades for a 7 night and 10 night reservation, was notified few days ahead of time. I’ve also been denied way ahead of time too for shorter stays.

I almost always get upgraded when I don’t travel for work

* Marriott

Redeemed 21 suite night days in the last year and all cleared 5 days ahead of time. Even got the presidential suite 2 times.

Had all suite night awards under SPG and then when converted to a Marriott account, Marriott emailed me saying I never got them and added them to account. (I imagine this is because I had over 100 nights with SPG and over 100 nights with Marriott). Add that to what I earned this year and then I still have 9 left.

Would it be dumb to leave for that low of a percentage increase? Some are offering equity in addition to the base comp. but hard to put a specific value to that now.
