A LoyaltyLobby reader alerted us about an earning change pushed through on the Marriott website where the number of points earned at 7 brands was cut from 10 to just 5.
The affected brands were Courtyard, Four Points, SpringHill Suites, Fairfield, AC Hotels, Aloft, and Moxy, but this was an error.
You can access Marriott’s page for the earnings by brand here.

Marriott has confirmed that this is a website error, and the number of points earned at their brands has not changed, and it has been fixed by now.

Conclusion
If you look at the seven brands that mistakenly moved from earning 10 points to just 5 per USD, it isn’t inconceivable that a change like this would occur.
These brands are somewhere between full and select service and are not aligned with the other brands that earn the full 10 points per USD.
I hope this was an error and not something we may have coming later this year.
