Thought this deserved its over thread.
both my personal and business cards were targeted

Anyone know if there is a way to use this if not staying at hotel in USA?

perhaps one can buy Marriott GCs at SPG hotels, either now or post-July program-merger?

So my sister is getting married next week at a sheraton. Now I got to convince hotel that didn't want to accept CC in the first place to switch original charge to a bunch of $300 charges. I'm thinking of going straight to billing department and skipping the event coordinator.

Why would they not accept cc?

Does this work when buying points? If yes, they're currently selling for 35% off...

They were balking at the CC fees. I assume the coordinator gets a small bonus if he can convince people to use cashiers check vs CC. They did accept in the end. I need to convince them to go back and split though. I am guessing going through billing department is the way to go.

still trying to figure out how to get this to be used at an international hotel.

Im wondering if hotels sell gift cards that can be used at other SPG hotels

Checking out of a hotel soon. My bill is $240 and they don't sell gift cards. Guess I will have to go shopping in the gift shop. Too bad they barely have anything

Does anyone know how the prepaid rate works with international hotel and how it comes up on the statement? Presumably that should work?
