Marriott Hotels

Where have people used their Cat. 1-5 certs? Looking for ideas.

In the USA?

In the USA?

Not necessarily, just in general.

There is a nice place in Princeton NJ.

Im looking to use somebody's marriot status for an upcoming 4 night stay. Please pm if you have status. Thanks!

Will Marriott be willing to  request from a hotel, to open up award space for  gold members, when there are standard rooms available for cash ? Am I better off calling the hotel directly ?

[@Yehuda]

I know there is a difference between Marriott hotel categories and Ritz hotel tiers. Can the Marriott CC certs (either cat. 4 or 5) be used on any RC tiers?

Keep in mind that it's usually a pretty full night when no award space is available. They have little incentive to accommodate.

In the end I just reserved the next level room, at a cost of about $75 for the upgrade ( which is a joke, bec. the only diff. bet. them is a few feet ).
When I got to the hotel, I asked if there were any standard rooms available, and they said there was one room left, which they have to us, and saved my money.

Goo for you. I guess it's a YMMV on hotel level.

I have a reservations for Marriott GIG with NO status for 40K per night, is there a way I can transfer my points to my friend who is Marriott gold or some how add my friend who is Marriott Gold to my reservations and get some kind of upgrade?.

I'M also Hilton Diamond and SPG Gold I think, any status matches?

Thanks-

Marriot does allow transferring points to another member. Not sure about fees, if any.

[SychoSly]

$10 fee, waived for gold and plat. members.

Is it better to book the Renaissance Hotel in Tel aviv for 35k points per night or $225? Trying to figure out the value of Marriott points. Thanks

imho, you can get more value from 35k than $225
