Hello, I'm a long-time lurker to this board preparing for our first ABD in 3 weeks. I've finally registered for the site because I've been unable to find an answer to this question and am hoping someone here can help.
Due to extensive work travel, my husband has top tier rewards status with Marriotts, which make up two of the three hotels on our Costa Rica trip. Typically this gets him upgraded to a higher category room, among other perks. I called ABD to see if we could add his rewards numbers to our reservations, but they said with the group reservations it was not possible until we arrived at the hotels. Does anyone have experience with this? If so, did you receive the typical benefits of the rewards status or was it too late/not applicable for the hotel to adjust?
Thanks for the help!
