"HP (alt) Marriott code 5105 is a secondary HP/HPE code, alongside the primary HPQ code and alt code 5444. HP's primary Marriott code HPQ is one of the most widely shared codes in FlyerTalk's publicly usable Marriott codes thread. The same risk profile applies to alt codes: Marriott's automated system has been documented to disable Mobile Key for high-risk codes, forcing front desk interaction. HP-heavy markets (Palo Alto, Houston TX) have heightened verification. No 5105-specific denial documented."

"I work for the front desk, at a Marriott, & have for the last 8 years .... So when it comes to room upgrades; it goes based on AVAILABILITY... sometimes no matter the tier, if we have it available - I will upgrade the guest. Now of course, higher tiered members get dibs on the upgrades first but after we go through the higher tiered members, Ambassador, Titanium, Platinum - then we go through the other ones. I cannot express this enough : BEING NICE & POLITE AT THE DESK GOES A LONG WA"

"I always see people saying that they aren’t able to do mobile check in. I’ve only stayed at two Marriott hotels where I tried to do mobile check in ( both of them never been to before) and they both let me without having to go to the front desk which I was really happy about because I had lost my ID and didn’t know how I was going to check in. Also I think I only had about 20 nights at the time, I usually stay with my boyfriend because he’s titanium."
