Elite Customer Service is a Joke - go to Hilton…
I am writing to express my frustration with how my recent reservation at Le Méridien Indianapolis was handled. I booked this stay specifically to use an award certificate—it was the reason I chose this hotel and made the trip. Instead of applying the certificate, the booking deducted points from my account. Before completing the booking, I even called customer service to confirm that the reward certificate would be used. After discovering the issue, I called again and spoke with a representative who told me there was “nothing that could be done.” That answer is unacceptable. Clearly, there are ways to apply a certificate or to credit points back when a booking is mishandled. The call was unnecessarily obstinate and unhelpful, leaving me with the impression that Marriott is unwilling to support loyal customers. This experience makes me reconsider my loyalty to Marriott. I have been a dedicated Bonvoy member and cardholder, but if this is how issues are handled, I will seriously evaluate moving my stays and my credit card spend to another brand such as Hilton or Hyatt. I expect Marriott to resolve this by either applying my award certificate to the Le Méridien Indianapolis reservation as intended or restoring the points that were wrongly deducted from my account.
