Topic Wiki

SNA works as follows:

The stay must be booked out of the account where the SNA is coming from. The account holder will add your name and you will be able to check in [YMMV]. If you want to use SPG Marriott suite upgrade make sure you find someone who has them first and let them make the booking. SPG Marriott suite upgrades can be applied to award stays as well.  One SNA can be applied for One Night, a two night reservation will require two SNA's. Some times SNA's can only be applied by desktop.

Once the Suite upgrade is applied you will NOT be confirmed in the suite right away. 5 days before the stay SPG Marriott will look for the suite. If it is available (at their own discretion, just because it shows available online doesn't mean you will get it) they will give it to you. If not they will continue to search until the day of your stay. If they cannot confirm it by then the suite upgrade will be returned to the account.

SNA can not currently be applied to Purchase Advanced reservations.
There is a workaround see :https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?action=post;quote=2145760;topic=92110.1080;last_msg=2149007
or paste this URL when reservation is open. https://www.marriott.com/reservation/requestSuiteNightAwards.mi

If you want to see what suites will be  available without having a SNA, make a temporary reservation open it under "my trips" and paste  the following in the URL box https://www.marriott.com/reservation/requestSuiteNightAwards.mi


Some members selling SNA's will only let you make a cash booking.
Some members selling SNA's do so for little to nothing and are not really making money, it's done as a giveaway for DDF members and they charge a small fee for the time involved. So when proposing a purchase please provide as follows:

Name of Hotel:
Dates:
Room:
Rate to be booked at (incl. tax and fees):
SNA to applied to Suite type (specify):1) 2) 3)


Suite upgrades Cannot be applied to Ritz-Carlton or Edition hotels

There are two types of upgrades: 1) The platinum upgrade is free with plat accts and is good for all dates when there are suites available.
   i.e. I've received a free 3 room suite upgrade on a points stay at the "W" in Westwood just by being a plat member.

2) The certificate upgrades are a guaranteed upgrade (not always a whole suite), however, you can only secure that 5 days in advance.
     Therefore, I'm not sure that anybody now has the ability to sell a Jan upgrade cert. Correct?

So if I booked on somebody's plat account I MAY get an upgrade. Only way to guarantee an upgrade is to get the cert 5 days before.

That has been my experience. The SPG line is great and I've always received upgrades for free, however this may be one area where Hyatt has the advantage -- that they have a better guaranteed upgrade. IME, in most cases, you will have a good Platinum experience.

If you are aiming for Jan 1, however, those dates are often blacked out. Regular Jan vacation will usually get you a great suite -- depends on the hotel and what suites that they have overall.

Selling 10 SPG SNAs for $50 each OBO.
For the uninitiated, that means I'm selling Starwood suite upgrades.

I would like one. I just made play with the Marriott merger but would rather confirm before arrival rather than chance it with the holidaydr

I have a hotel booked with points for Thanksgiving weekend, would any of the certificates people are offering here work for an upgrade? I am only an SPG Gold member, so I am guessing not, I am new to this, so forgive me if this is common knowledge. Thank you.

The booking would have to be made using the account that the suite night upgrades come from. I have certs if you need
