Our Marriott Bonvoy Wishlist | Coffee Break Ep41 | 1-14-25

This is right on. The crazy chatter and inconsistent breakfast benefit is the thing that keeps me from staying at Marriotts and pursuing status. It’s nuts.

[@beaunoonan510]

I loved this one. Could not agree more. Thanks guys!!

[@yvjyang]

These are simple indeed!

[@MistSoalar]

After watching this, I can say the word Bonvoy is still 99% negative term related to conned, screwed, smoked, baited, etc.

IMHO, unless you travel enough to earn Titanium or Ambassador, or your work requires you to stay with Marriott, you're better off with Hilton/Hyatt/IHG or going free agent.

💯💯💯

“When you can’t be as good as Wyndham”…ouch! 😂 Do any of the recent regulation changes at the federal level take care of the resort fees problem?

[@ardens-travel-guide]

Number 1 on my wishlist is to bring back the ability to earn lifetime Titanium status. I want to keep United status long term but don't want to pursue annual Titanium if it won't ever lead to lifetime Titanium status. Everything mentioned in this video would definitely be good but there's also things that Marriott does which I wish other programs would adopt. For example, Hyatt suite upgrades can't be used on stays booked with free night certificates and at Hyatts with a lounge, globalists can't pay a small amount of points to upgrade to a significantly better breakfast in the restaurant.

Thanks for the info + video!

I’ve gone away from loyalty with Marriott. I’m a free agent and/or Hilton/Hyatt.

[@ManuelJimenez-ok2mn]

Agree, agree, agree, agree and agree. Are we consumers pissing in the wind or do you have someone at Marriott listening you?

[@Jupiterfunk]

The fact that they keep creating these hoops for their clients to jump through just to get what they earned through loyalty will inevitably push their customers to other loyalty programs. I guess they hate making money.

[@soapa4279]

Marriott has consistently been the worse program compared to the other big two (Hyatt, Hilton) Seriously why do some places cost 200K points for a room that costs $300. That's .15CPP I don't mind dynamic pricing, but this is just flat out ridiculous. I understand higher end resorts and overseas you can get better CPP, but really can't use it domestically even for a one or two night stay realistically. Bonvoy'd.

[@BoywithLoveeee]

I love the fnc, I redeemed one at st Regis Osaka and ritz Carlton Osaka for 52k points and 66k with the fnc. I agree they need to fix that free breakfast thing, they should let gold status holders to have that for free like Hilton especially majority of their hotels doesn’t have club lounges.

[@nubianpwr]

I agree! Marriott is now looking like a "nickel & dime" hotel chain with deceptive marketing😎

[@lisaco1]

Courtyards don't have breakfast anywhere in the USA, they don't cook. Ritz Carlson, abroad you can negotiate, "I will stay if you give me the breakfast" otherwise I'm going to St Regis. Marriott does not own the hotels , hotel owners make their best financial decisions

[@scrumcaptain]

Resort fees are dishonest and total BS.

[@TravelBloggerBuzz]

You know these will not happen. I moved on from this company after getting Bonvoyed enough :-)
