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

I'm gonna do everyone a community service and explain how SPG suite upgrades work:

The stay must be booked out of the account where the suite upgrades are coming from. The account holder will add your name and you will be able to check in. If you want to use SPG suite upgrades make sure you find someone who has them first and let them make the booking. SPG suite upgrades can be applied to award stays as well.
Once the Suite upgrade is applied you will NOT be confirmed in the suite right away. 5 days before the stay SPG 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
...

The question is if this amenity will be available for Plat 50 members who hit 50 nights only when including in their Marriott nights in addition to the Starwood nights, as well?

The SPG customer service person seemed to think that it may work for this year, but maybe not be available next year?

She also seemed to think that there will be better amenities for Plat-50-Nights in 2019.

it will be available but you will only get 5. The only way to get 10 is to hit 50 SPG nights by the end of July. If you then hit 75 by the end of the year combined with Marriott you will get 5 more   

This is the only year you can get 15

So if I have only 35 SPG nights right now, then I may be eligible for only 5 sna nights by August 1 from SPG, however if I have another 25 Marriott nights and then earn another 15 SPG nights before Dec 31, then I may be eligible for 15 SNA?

no you must hit 50 SPG nights by the end of July before they combine the programs. Once they merge the programs 50 nights only gets you 5 SNAs and 75 gets you an additional 5

okay. so no bonus 5 to reach 15 sna if after Aug 1.  Therefore, I will check out some nice out of town Category 2 Marriotts now, since they are cheaper than the comparable SPG in most locations:

if traveling anyway -- it's easier to reach combined 75 nights by Dec 2018 than to reach (more expensive) 50 SPG nights by August 1, 2018.

makes sense. If you can’t hit 50 by 8/1 no need to force SPG stays.

1 of these expires 12/31/18 if anyone needs it let me know might be willing to give away for free. Most likely will work on Marriott properties as well
