Deep dives

Fixing the Breakfast Benefit

Enhancing the elite breakfast benefit is essential for improving the Marriott Bonvoy program. Currently, the process for receiving complimentary breakfast for platinum elite members is convoluted and confusing, often requiring guests to navigate a lengthy document to determine eligibility. The benefits vary widely by hotel brand, with some properties offering a mere $10 credit instead of a full breakfast, leading to frustration even among loyal customers who frequently engage with the program. Streamlining and standardizing the breakfast offerings across all hotels would eliminate ambiguity and create a more satisfying experience for guests.
