Marriott 5 Night + Miles Packages
« on: September 25, 2016, 09:56:42 PM »
Anyone here have experience getting Marriott to book these packages officially intended for timeshare owners?
Wondering if it's worth a DDMS post or if its too YMMV.

Code: [Select]
United 5 Nights + 55K miles   5 Nights + 77K miles   5 Nights + 110K miles   5 Nights + 132K miles
Category 1-5 165K 185K 215K 235K
Category 6 180K 200K 230K 250K
Category 7 200K 220K 250K 270K
Category 8 230K 250K 280K 300K

seems like it all depends on getting the right agent. less eyes on this is better but it will be on the other blogs at some point soon. i will likely be pulling this off jan 1st.

i dont have any experience but i did a lot of research since i'm planning a 5 day Marriott stay. it seems that if you have some sort of elite status with Marriott then they will push it thorugh.
maybe a DDMS would get people to come forward that have had success.

I tried twice so far (with Gold status) but haven't been successful. When it does work, can you also do for Tier 1-3 or just Cat. 1-9?

I also tried recently and had no luck, even after HUCA a couple of times.

From TPG "Both agents told me I couldn’t redeem for Ritz-Carlton properties with the five-night packages."

I was told the return rates and they were pretty paltry. But they told me it can be done.

I believe it was 10k for the highest-value table (e.g., UR), and around 40k for the lower-value airlines (e.g., most international airlines)

Just a data point from today 01/06/2017.
I called Marriott to order a Hotel plus Air package with Southwest as the designated transfer airline.
I asked the rep for the 5-night package. She said we no longer offer those.  I said I had seen it online, etc. etc. No luck.
Being that so many had reported no success in the 5 night package, I decided to just take the 7 night package without HUCA.
As she was getting my information I mentioned that I really was disappointed that I couldn't get the 5 night package because it's so hard to find 7 consecutive days of availability....
Anyway she put me on hold to do the transfer and she came back and said you're all good to go, you should see the SW points within 3 business days.
Then, I log into my account  and see that instead of deducting 270k, she deducted 235k and there is a 5-NIGHT TRAVEL CERTIFICATE! (see image)
Don't know how I got so lucky, but it looks like the reps can easily do it. (No I don't own a Marriott timeshare, I'm just Gold status from cc).
Now, I just hope nothing changes and the 120k transfers smoothly to SW.
