So I read a Flyertalk thread where others did gift cards and it worked.

I did it myself last week and the credit posted today.

So yes gift cards from Marriot.com do trigger the $300 credit

Good info. Another DP here

My basic Marriott card renews in 1 month. According to your DP,  I hope to be able to get $300 credit this month with an upgrade, buy $300 gift card, and then $300 again at renewal next month. Would justify the $450 fee.

I'll post results here BE"H.

Thanks.

That would be real nice.

Now I'm just hoping the GC's will be credited for my "upgrade year" as I upgraded yesterday...purchased $300 in GCs today....and my anniversary day is April 5th.
