not sure how that's relevant here, but ok.

When i search STR on Marriotts site i see availability for 48k per night when i try booking it comes up as unavailable and i can only book with cash...

Bc reservation systems haven't yet been merged, and SPG's reservation systems block redemptions on that property as it has limited participation with SPG rewards. I expect you'll be able to redeem for the garden villa once the reservation systems are merged.

My SPG account converted into a separate Marriott account (even though they were linked prior to the merger). anyone else having a similar issue?

At first I logged into the Marriott app with my email, which only brought up my SPG details (i.e. points balance, reservations). I then logged into via browser and only saw my marriott details. I compared the two member numbers and they were different.

Looks like this is an across the board problem.

Tried matching to United Silver now that it says Platinum Elite, but site is down for maintenance...

My Ritz certificates on my account now say free night up to 60k no longer calls it a free night tier 1-4

Anyone find this to be true? I see the prices, but it wont let me actually make the reservation

Members will be to connect their accounts, all you need is your login info for both accounts. Combine and keep your Rewards number here: https://t.co/6WR1GPVkZ4 Prefer to keep your new SPG number? Combine here: https://t.co/xm8IyLA29a

Wow all of a sudden simple Marriott properties that was 15K last week is showing now as 17.5K per night, bottom line we all lost big time on this merger.
