My Marriott ambassador is useless. I ask him to check with the hotel on trying to get certain rates etc and all he does is look in the system and tell me things aren’t available. (Cont.)

My old ambassador used to call hotels and get things like non public points availability opened up for me. Should I ask for a new ambassador or is this the new standard?

Used Ambassador for a trip to Bali. Was really helpful and got the 24hr checkout. I believe it's the person you get as the one I got wasn't my regular but was twice as helpful.

Agree with them being completely useless. I can find better deals then they can. Actually, if you just call the regular hotline they find better deals then they do 😂
