Marriott/Starwood Platinum Elite Benefit Questions Effective August 2018

Marriott/Starwood Platinum Elite Benefit Questions Effective August 2018

  1. Michael M Member

    2 questions: (1) After 1 August 2018, which Marriott brands will be required to grant lounge access to Platinum elites? (and which ones won’t?) (2) For Platinum elites, will some Marriott brands such as Courtyard be require to provide breakfast for 2 in the restaurant or will they only be required to issue a voucher which could be used for meals but which might not cover the full cost of breakfast for 2 in the restaurant?
