Yep. Company paid. Long term prices are lower and stayed in low cost hotels so yeah less points. Residence inn and Towneplace
When I stayed there there was an offer from Marriott where they gave 1500 points per bill extra. Hotel used to bill every 10 days or so got some additional points.
There was also 3000 extra points if I stay in 3 different brand hotels. I managed that as well. But points will be allotted after 6 weeks.
I also got a 2k points for staying in the hotel on Friday.
All in all I got ~75 or 80k points. For 61 days.
And for 2 nights in Chennai I got almost 10k
YES!
I was talking about this only. Very happy to know that you did got all those extra points.
Few hotels in India, the staff don't even bother telling you and not even try to help and tell you whats best offer for you.
Have a neighbor, did both son's and daughter's wedding at marriott courtyard, for 5days+, many rooms, few halls, food etc. They didnt even bother telling my neighbor about the points, was around 200K points each time.
I went with him, talk with manager, sure you will get it. So I register my neighbor with membership, and get got those points after a month. But daughter's wedding was done few years back, so no points for that. He got angry with the manager, told them we will do complaint, but he let it go. He said, its his son's wedding, cannot be bother with all this. Then I told him how much he is missing, after which he listened to me.
Both his wedding went smoothly, but many complaint about bad food. Which cannot be helped, and people forgot about it after few days anyways.
