I have 2 free Marriott nights on my account. I will be in Italy in August and would like to use them, but no free nights are available for my dates at the hotel I want. I had the same issue with SPG on a cash + points reservation and I was able to have them open that option up for me to make the reservation.
Can I do the same thing with Marriot - ask them to make free night redemption(s) available for the dates/hotel I need?
Thanks.
