Qn about SPG platinum breakfast amenity - is it valid only once during the stay or for each day? I'm told I can use it only once during the stay 🤷🏻‍♂️

Each day through the entire stay. Unless something changed due to the merger in addition to my points balance being messed up.

I always take the points. Breakfast is literally same everyday. You get bored very fast.

You used to get 750 Marriott points for taking points instead of breakfast. And if you get b’fast it should be each day.

Whattt? Do we still have the option to pick points instead of breakfast at Marriott now? I though breakfast is free and it’s the only option!

Depends on the hotel. They have the right to decide what you get.

Depends on the hotel. If it has an Executive/Concierge Lounge, you can get breakfast there as Platinum and above.

Otherwise, mostly you choose breakfast (for the stay) or points. However, there are outliers. I just stayed at the Pier One in Sydney and they gave me points AND breakfast

Hotels don’t have the right to decide what you get. It’s breakfast every day for a hotel without a lounge at brands where it’s an option (which includes all legacy Starwood brands)
