"New name Nightly upgrade awards will take the place of Suite Night Awards. They’re clearly trying to set expectations that Marriott elites may be upgraded, but frequently not to suites, even when exercising their benefit to jump to the front of the queue rather than playing catch as catch can at the check-in desk."
"Upgrades only processed closer to arrival Currently suite upgrade requests are processed starting 5 days prior to check-in. While Hyatt and IHG have upgrades confirmed in advance (at booking, and starting 14 days prior to check-in, respectively) Marriott is moving in the opposite direction to begin processing upgrades only 3 days prior to arrival."
