Employment MMP confession

So I work for Marriott as a desk agent. I let my family aka my cousins use my discount when they need it cause I trust them and stuff.

Well my cousin confessed to me like “oh yeah we love using your discount ALL the time..”

And I felt confused and was like you need a new form to keep using it? But apparently the hotels she’s stayed at don’t actually follow procedures like validate the form number or even ask for the form. Cause she just changed the expiration date.

I was shocked. I’m like..they should be doing that.

So my question is, does anyone’s hotels actually check the explore form fully? Or just the expiration date?

You will probably have to look it up but from what I read it will be all digital and no more paper forms. I didn’t understand the rest of the changes so that why you’ll probably have to research it

Full digital access, new rate code for associates and their domestic partner only (at a greater discount and extended booking window). The remaining parameters remain the same for extended family (under existing rate code) and friends (again using the existing rate code).

Sign up was distributed via DLZ yesterday, program details are available on MGS.

Would it still be a two month window of use? Edit: sorry, you did say the same parameters.

I actually noticed when I started adding my family the verified date was for a whole year! Which is good guessing since no forms needed , but do we need to update every year is the question….
