Marriott gift cards are 20% off

I will give it another day and then attempt the loop again. My bad but still annoying.

Nope, apparently I only left it out once. He said in one place it was correct and the other (obviously more important one) it was wrong.
Interesting how everyone is saying they got their’s almost instantly since he told me they were still processing. I placed the order on the 15 th.

I ordered mine on the 15th as well and still haven’t gotten it. I just emailed customer service but may have to call. What number did you call? Thanks!

I have called twice now and am still waiting. According to the reps it’s still in verification and can take up to 7 business days. They told me I should call again after the 26 th. We ordered at 9:17 pm on the 14th.
I recommend waiting the 7 business days before calling otherwise it is just a frustrating non answer.....wait .
Good like and keep us posted on your results.
 
I wonder why it's taking longer for some folks to get theirs than it is for others? I ordered one and got it within an hour. Maybe it depends on the amount?

Good question. I ordered five over a four-day period and I received each of mine within a few minutes of completing the transaction.

Thanks! Seems odd. I got the email immediately the sale went through. I only ordered $100. Figured I’d throw it on our bar bill at the beach!

Sounds like a great way to get discount on Marriott golf in the CA and AZ desert.

That's exactly how we plan to spend the $. If we do travel over Thanksgiving, it will pay for a few rounds of golf at Westin Mission Hills golf courses when we stay at Westin Mission Hills. Their rates are cheaper than Desert Springs or Shadow Ridge.
 
Can anyone let me know what email the cards arrived from? It's been over a month and I still haven't received them. The charge came on the Marriott care that day!
 
We purchased 2 lots: 1 for immediate delivery and 1 for July delivery. I was hoping that the billing would match the delivery date but no such luck. Both bills came right away. 1 was delivered immediately. The other (hopefully) will deliver in July as scheduled.

We look forward to using these for stays next year.
 
Last weekend we stayed at a Marriott using an award certificate and points. It was the first time I tried using the gift card we purchased via this promotion. It states to present it upon check-in, which I did, but the associate said they couldn't accept it then because we had no charges yet and to come back the next day, but yet I had to fork over a credit card at that time. The only charges I expected at that time were the nightly parking fees. The next day I went down to the lobby and presented the gift card and asked that it be used for all our room charges for the rest of our stay. The associate working didn't know how to apply it and had to get a manager to do it for me. The next day we checked out and I saw that only one night of parking was charged to the gift card with the 2nd night charged to my credit card. So when checking out I stopped at the lobby YET AGAIN and had them apply the 2nd night's parking fee to the gift card and remove it from my credit card.

QUESTION: Is there an easier way to use these gift cards, other than going down to the front desk each and every morning and having them apply the charges for the day before to the gift card? Our next trip is next month and it is for 7 days and the thought of having to do this each day is not making me happy.

I've never had my credit card hit on a daily basis. Usually they accumulate costs throughout your stay, and upon check out hit your card for the total owed. In the past when I have gift cards, I merely go to front desk the night before checkout and have them apply the gift cards to reduce the balance owed....with only any excess hitting my credit card upon checkout.

Yes, just use the gift card when checking out. They don't usually post charges to the credit card until either later in the day of checkout or sometime after.

I've had different experiences than either of you.

For the past two years I've had my Bonvoy Brilliant Amex used as my Apple Pay account. One thing that happens with it being the card attached to Apple Pay is I get an iPhone alert each time there is a charge (hold) on the card. This occurs whether the card is used as Apple Pay or it is swiped for a normal charge. For Marriott hotels there is usually a hold placed on the card at check-in for the room & tax for the entire stay. For both Marriott hotels and Vistana timeshares each night there is a charge (hold) placed on the card for that day's incidentals including F&B and parking.

If I use a different method of payment, such as a gift card, at check-out the holds disappear a few days later.

FWIW, At MOC Maui, the daily Hawaii room tax hits the card I used to check-in each day. Since parking is free, nothing except room charges would post.
