  I think every answer gets a correct response today!

  I can confirm that the 10x have been crediting since at least Friday.

  One thing I do find a pain though is that there are a number of hotels, particularly new ones that the system does not automatically register as Marriott Properties. I have found this particularly with some of the newer Luxury Collection properties. I normally get it sorted swiftly through the online chat function (I have to share a link with the property on the Marriott site otherwise their own list says it’s not a Marriott hotel) although on one occasion the person I chatted to was badly misinformed trying to tell me that the bonus points would come later from he hotel. That was a time wasting battle!

    Live chat with whom?

      With Amex.

  10x points are crediting for me. I actually think it’s a very generous offer.

  The 15 elite nights is the main reason I have kept the card though.

    How long after getting the Card do the 15 elite nights post ?

      I got mine within a couple of weeks, some people have reported it even quicker.

    Sorry, I can’t actually remember. I didn’t feel the need to chase, so it must have been quick. 15 nights from the Amex and 13 nights for being Gold last year (courtesy of Amex Plat) made attaining Marriott Platinum status easy this year.

  Wish the Marriott card had more offers for Marriott properties for me. BA card and PLT card has Marriott and other hotels offers , but none on the Marriott card itself

    I don’t think you need a degree in marketing to figure out the logic there, though, to be fair to them

  Not sure if this is a glitch, but the Gleam widget keeps saying ‘verification needed’ and insisting I log into a social media or gmail account. I can’t see any reason why it needs to have access to that stuff for verification (identity theft, maybe… 😉 I’ve already given it an email address, so it can easily send me a double-opt-in if that’s required. Not a good look 😉

    Hi Jon, I’ve made a small edit that will hopefully stop that happening for you. Let us know if not.

      Thanks Sinead – got there in the end 🙂

      Rob – in case it helps track down whatever the issue may be, what I had happen was:
      1) Tried to use the same details as I had used (apparently successfully) the previous day, but got asked for verification, hence original message here after trying a few times.
      2) After Sinead’s reply I tried again but got the same issue, so logged out (not sure why I was logged in but I assume entering my name and email previously counted as a login) and tried again with a different email address.
      3) This time I was not asked for verification but did have to go through an ‘account recovery’ process (check my email for a code, enter code into form etc). Then I got an email saying my entry had been received (which I didn’t get for the previous day’s competition, so I may or may not have been entered into that one despite the widget saying I had 1 entry 😉
      4) I was going to say that I suspect the issue is therefore specific to certain email addresses – but then I remembered that I had a similar problem on the first competition this week (Tuesday?) which I solved by switching to a different device (But that didn’t work this time…). So it may be device-related – or not 😉 Odd though – I can’t find anything definitely consistent…

    happening for me too just now.

    I am not likely to participate in any competition that insists that I link them to my social media details in this way.

    So it looks like I wont be able to participate in this one.

    • Rob says:

      Odd. Second time this week it has been playing up.

• DB2020 says:

  When I attempted to enter the competition, it flashed a message on screen: You have made too many entries.

  Well, I hadn’t as it was my first attempt. Hopefully others don’t get this message. I’ve passed on entering today’s competition.

  Last time I stayed at this property, I decided to re inact Wannabee for a laugh to post on you tube, needless to say the reception staff were not amused as its obviously been done before, but not I am guessing by an overweight chap in his mid fifties dressed as Ginger Spice.

    Do I recall @Polly and @Cat doing that at the last Christmas party at the St Pancras Renaissance ?

    • Polly says:

      And you LL had a lot of fun directing us, esp Cat doing that staircase.
      Love to win this one tho, looking forward to staying there sometime. Think it’s the most gorgeous building…
