DO NOT BUY, NOT WORTH THE VALUE
I received a $500 Marriott gift card from a friend. It is NOT redeemable for a prepay room reservation. You have to book a room using the more expensive, reserve with a credit card and pay upon arrival. I called the main reservation to confirm this, and tried to explain calmly why this did not make sense. The customer service representative told me that they "could not verify the card, except in person. I tried to communicate why they should honor the lower price, only to be told that I would be told they would transfer me and they hung up. I was attempting to book a room at the Columbus airport for $120, but could not use the gift card and was forced to book at the $160 price because of the policy they have of not accepting a gift card as prepayment. I also, called the hotel location, to try to explain the price difference and the woman was extremely rude and told me that it was not the same as money. The only gift cards that are accepted for the pre pay room price are Visa or other gift cards. This means the value of the card is not the face value.
