Ambassador 5 Star: Mr. Marriott, the boss of Marriott, personally initiated the invitation.
The check-out time of the gold card can be delayed until 2 pm, depending on the room conditions. The platinum card says to guarantee the late check-out at 4 pm, but it can't be fully guaranteed when it is implemented, depending on the viewing status.
The room type upgrade is determined according to the room status (and hotel mood). Platinum upgrade is limited to basic suites.
Second, life members
When the total number of nights and the number of years of membership reach a certain standard, you can start the lifelong membership achievement. When you get a life-long membership, even if you don't stay for one night, you are a member of the corresponding level. The following are the requirements for Marriott Life members:
Life-long silver card: 250 nights+more than 5 years of silver card membership.
Life gold card: 400 nights +7 years gold card or above.
Platinum for life: 600 nights+/kloc-platinum members with more than 0/0 years.
Lifelong accommodation: normal and effective check-in, including points room and FN.
Lifetime: 5/7/ 10 years is not needed, the total is enough.
From 20 19, Marriott will no longer open life-long titanium gold, and new life-long members can only get life-long small platinum.
Third, effective sign-in
Cash/points and room coupons (FN) are considered as qualified check-in. Accommodation requirements are calculated by calendar year. After meeting the requirements of the corresponding level, you can get a membership period of at least 1 year (Marriott renews its membership every March). For example, I met the requirements for a platinum card in March 19, so I will be an effective platinum customer in the remaining time of 19 +20 years +2 1 year +0/2 months.
According to the current policy, each member can accumulate up to one room, but at the same time, he can accumulate points for up to three rooms.
Although the classification has nothing to do with the number of stays, the number of stays is still used for the check-in ceremony and some promotional activities. Note that handling CI immediately after CO in the same hotel will not be counted as two check-ins, and the system will automatically merge the check-outs/check-ins in the same hotel for 24 consecutive hours, and finally it will only be counted as a valid check-in. If you want to accumulate the number of stays in a short time, you need to choose to switch between different hotels (A-B-A can do this).
The policy of demotion is now clear, and the previous step-by-step demotion will no longer be implemented. The annual grade is completely determined according to the number of grade nights (ambassadors and consumption requirements) of the previous year. If the ambassador's demotion fails, he can also enjoy gradual demotion (that is, titanium reduction).
Fourth, the reservation channel: official vs third-party reservation
If you want to accumulate effective check-in/room nights and points, the most important thing is to book through official channels! Check-in booked by third-party platforms such as Ctrip, Bookings and Priceline will not be considered as valid check-in. As for the membership treatment, the third party can also enjoy the membership treatment (room upgrade/lounge/breakfast, etc.). ), which is more cordial.
Official channels include common:
Web page reservation
Kamon
Mobile phone application reservation
Kamon
Company agreement price reservation
Direct dial telephone hotel reservation
Zhu Fei Marriott flagship store reservation
The following methods are also counted as RMS machines:
FHR: In most cases, FHR (Centurion Card Reservation) counts as valid accommodation.
Master: This is also a specialized and qualified travel agency.
Visa Signature/Unlimited Luxury Hotel, MasterCard Travel Agency: It is also a qualified agent.
Verb (short for verb) Best Price Guarantee (BRG)
At present, major hotels are trying their best to let people book on their official website or mobile App. In addition to the only way to get elite accommodation, they usually attract customers through the benefits of this best price guarantee.
BRG simply means that after you make a reservation in official website, if you find a lower public price on other third-party websites, you can ask the hotel to match this price for you. Hotels often reward people who make reservations in official website, and will give some extra benefits after the success of BRG. After BRG is successful, Marriott will offer 75% discount or 5000 points (whichever is the other) after the game. For example, I reserved a room for 120 dollars a night, and I was at
http://
I found out directly that they offered 100 a night, so after BRG succeeded, I actually only had to pay $75 a night before tax. You can poke here to see Marriott's BRG claim form.
The focus of BRG is the lower price that must be disclosed by a third party, and the membership price that needs to be paid cannot be BRG (note: Ctrip's price basically fails). In addition, when submitting the BRG, you must have made a reservation from Marriott official website. The hotel, room type, date and cancellation terms of BRG also need to be consistent.
Member benefits
First, the benefits of platinum members
Core benefits:
Room upgrade, including standard suite
Late check-out at 4 pm
Free breakfast for two.
Executive lounge (if any)
Titanium: In Ritz-Carlton, EDITION can also enjoy the benefits of suite upgrade.
Ambassador member (/kloc-20k per night on 0/00): You can enjoy the exclusive ambassador service and your 24 benefits.
Your 24 benefits: Members can choose any 24-hour stay. For example, I can choose the ci of 1 in the morning, and then the co of 1 the next morning, and the hotel needs to decide whether to approve it according to the room conditions. It is usually useful to arrive at the hotel early/late. Arriving early generally does not affect checking out at 4 pm the next day.
Ambassador service: there is a special person responsible for helping you arrange your travel plans, including hotel reservations/restaurant reservations, etc. At the same time, the ambassador can also help you talk with the hotel about upgrading (according to the actual measurement, the ability of different ambassadors varies greatly, so don't expect too much).
Second, breakfast (welcome ceremony)&; bar
Breakfast and lounge are one of the most practical benefits for senior members. The rules are as follows:
Welcome courtesy: points/breakfast/welcome gift.
If the hotel has an executive lounge, it will generally provide lounge breakfast (simple), so you can directly choose some for the welcome ceremony and then go to the lounge for breakfast.
Simple choice, if you send breakfast, choose points; If breakfast is not served, choose breakfast.
Third, the room type upgrade
In addition to breakfast and lounge, room upgrade is also a real platinum benefit, and free upgrade of suites for platinum members has always attracted much attention. The general rule about this benefit is:
The most important point: according to the situation of the room, it is certainly impossible for you to upgrade the room that has been sold, so if you unfortunately go to a full hotel, be prepared not to upgrade.
Upgradable room type: suite/room with better view/high-rise/corner room or room with special facilities, or room on the executive floor (the gold card upgrade clause generally removes the suite from the list).
Only titanium members and above can enjoy the Ritz-Carlton/Addison suite upgrade. But even the titanium clause cannot guarantee that you can upgrade to the executive floor at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Even if you get the executive floor, you don't have to give you the executive lounge. The quality of Ritz-Carlton VIP rooms is generally very high, so their admission rules are very strict, and they are basically bought by money.
Note that some brands and a small number of hotels obviously don't need to participate in the platinum upgrade benefits, but they will actually give platinum members a certain upgrade. Talking more at the front desk is not a problem.
Not all suites are upgraded. The default refers to the standard suite category, and the superior suite is not within the upgrade scope, so in fact, the hotel itself has a relatively large operating space. In short, don't take it for granted that all rooms can be upgraded for free.
Although the upgrade is decided at the time of check-in, the mobile App or webpage can often show whether the room type has been upgraded before check-in. Of course, there are also APP upgrades and actual check-in downgrades. Everything is subject to the room type at the time of check-in.
Regarding the priority of upgrading, the hotel system does display the membership level with codes, so it has priority. Generally speaking, cash is directly fixed > owner recommended/hidden members > lifetime platinum/permanent hotel guests > ambassador > titanium gold >: platinum > gold card.
Reservations such as FHR/Virtuoso can be regarded as platinum sign-in, and there will be some upgrades.
Annual courtesy: 50/75 nights reward
Members staying for 50 nights and 75 nights will have the opportunity to choose a special gift respectively. You can click this link to choose:
I) 50N courtesy option:

Five-night suite upgrade voucher
40% discount on bedding.
100 USD charitable donation
Give sb a gold card
Add 5 effective rooms.
1 night free accommodation (40k)
The deadline for selection is 65438+ next year 10/4. If you don't choose when it expires, the system will automatically help you choose a 5-night suite upgrade coupon.
I believe that most of the old railways will be entangled in suite coupons /5 nights/1 night free coupons, so these three options are mainly introduced.
Adding 5N means directly adding 5 valid rooms for you. For example, if you choose 5N for 50 nights, it will become 55N immediately. Note that according to the terms, even if you wait until the beginning of next year, these five nights cannot be counted as the number of nights in the next year, so they are only suitable for use at a higher level in that year, and these 5N are now counted as the number of nights for life.
1 night, the maximum free room coupon is 40000 points. According to the rating table, it can be used in Cat 5 peak or Cat 6 off-peak Under the new classification, many good hotels can be changed.
Five valid nights, 1 room coupon, quite simple and clear. Next, let's talk about how to use the suite voucher in detail.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) introduction to the use of suite coupons
Heart-to-heart in the peak season may not be able to upgrade successfully. If you want to lock a better room in advance, the suite coupon is the best choice (not only Marriott, but also Hyatt). The function of Suite Night Award (SNA) is to lock a better room in advance:
Both 50N and 75N courtesy options have suite coupons, which are valid until the end of next year.
Cash/points/cash+points/room coupons can be used to book rooms.
The upgrade scope of the suite voucher is defined by the hotel itself, and the standard suite is the main one. Individual hotels can even upgrade their villas (such as Xiamen Marriott Conference).
An SNA can only be upgraded for one night. For example, if you book for 3 consecutive nights, you need at least 3 coupons to apply for an upgrade. This is not the same as the Hyatt Suite voucher. A Hyatt gift certificate can be upgraded for a maximum of 7 consecutive nights.
In addition to one night vs up to seven nights, Marriott's suite coupons are also different from Hyatt's in the time of upgrade confirmation: Hyatt's suite coupons can be directly locked for upgrade when booking, while Marriott can only confirm them five days before check-in. The specific process is as follows:
When you choose to use the suite voucher to request an upgrade, the system will automatically check whether the room you requested is available from 5 days before your arrival to 2 pm every day (local time of the hotel) before your arrival 1 day.
If there is a room, the system will automatically confirm the upgrade request; If there is no space, the system repeats this step.
If the upgrade can only be confirmed 1 day before the arrival of the account, the system will automatically return your suite voucher.
The specific operation steps are very simple. After logging in to your account, you can view your next trip under the My Travel tab. Click View/Modify to go to the reservation information page:
On the booking information page, you should see the following button to request an upgrade. Click to enter the room type selection page.
In the room type selection page, there are generally a variety of room types to choose from. The system allows multiple coupons to be selected, and confirm whether it can be upgraded by filtering from high to low. Multiple selections can increase the probability of upgrading.
If you want to use the suite voucher but find that the webpage prompts "Suite Night Award cannot be used for this reservation", it is generally for the following reasons:
Ritz-Carlton, Edition does not participate in SNA upgrade.
There is no suite in the hotel you booked.
All the hotels you meet are suites, because the basic room type is suites, so you can't use suite coupons. Some all-suite resorts also offer the option of upgrading your suite coupons by one or two levels (such as St. The Regess Hotel in Bali).
Prepayment cannot participate in SNA upgrade.
