I booked my first Marriott room of the year yesterday and my son used it last night passing through Ohio.
It was a category 1 Fairfield Inn and Suites and he said the room was good but the breakfast is better at Holiday Inn Express. I agree with him on their breakfasts - they are pretty basic and the eggs are probably powdered.
So, since I have a credit card that will give me 15 nights, I now only need 34 nights to get platinum. I'm almost tempted to give it a go.
Didn't get Platinum this year as all my cards did not count - the annual fees were waived first year and then even if that was not a factor, I didn't do any more stays even though I was a short 7 days away from 50. They just never did credit me with the rollover or 'new' nights.
So, now I'm waiting to see if I get rollover nights this year.
@miztressuz any idea? I made gold through credit card. That takes 25, and potentially I had 43 once my last card posted in December, not counting the SPG Biz with the waived fee or the did not happen rollover from 2017.
My one night credit is 'in progress' so I'm showing zero nights right now. Would love to see rollover, and the 15 credit card nights and then I could make some plans, as I have some gift cards to spend, plus the Amex offer to complete.
