I stay at the Marriott quite a bit and am a Silver Elite member and have been signed up for the WSJ for three years and have NEVER gotten the damned thing. They ask you what paper you’d like and then ignore your choice. Every morning it’s USA Today. I’ve stopped picking it up and throwing it away, I now just step over it in the morning.

I've stopped picking it up and throwing it away, I now just step over it in the morning.SeeBS says that USA Today is "the nation's doormat" so you may as well to put it to good use by actually wiping your shoes on it. (Unless you think it'll make your shoes even dirtier.)
Ditto here. Silver as well. Get this...my company sent me away on business and booked me through Expedia...5 night stay. I put my rewards number on the stay when I checked in and the others who stayed under the reservation as well...also..all food...room service..bar tabs...etc...everything that was paid to the hotel was to get me points earned for it.
Weeks went by and nothing showed up on my account for points.
Marriott told me “because you booked your entire trip through Expedia and not the Marriott web site...you are not entitled to one single point”
The entire bill for all of us was $4k.
This year has really pissed me off with Marriott...REALLY pissed me off. I always ask on purpose for us to be booked at Marriott hotels if there is a conference. Now...I am not going to speak up at all. Felt totally ripped off.
