[Thailand] Club Marriott Introduction. Highly recommended for those without a tier, planning to stay at mid-priced hotels, tired of BRG / Beware of long post

This post was posted on Naver blog on 2021.11.20.

hello.

I learned about Club Marriott Thailand (hereinafter referred to as ‘Clme’) through Susasa ‘I Don’t Eat Breakfast’.

(Thank you @Don’t eat breakfast for introducing me to Kleme in Thailand^^)

I contacted the dedicated staff member and manager named ‘Kitty’ you introduced me on the pre-departure line, but I did not receive a response.

I met him as soon as I arrived in Bangkok.

She’s a pretty girl, like a Thai woman!!!!!! (I like that pretty girl^^ I’m a looker, haha)

There were really 4 types of response… … … … …

What do I need to do to help sign up for CLME? What do you want to know? It’s all in the instructions!!! I heard some answers here and there. But why? I had so many questions, and even after signing up, I was a bit confused about actually using it.

So I am writing a review.

For people like me who are getting older and running out of guns.

For those of you who don’t know what CLME is

Is this really cost-effective? For those who are curious

How are you really using it? For those who are curious

1. Where can I find information about Cleme?

How can I contact you?

https://myclubmarriott.com/home/homepage/en

Find and compare by country on this site.

If you click on each country/hotel, the basic benefits are explained.

If you click LEAN MORE at the bottom, you can immediately check the full information in PDF.

I compared all hotels in Thailand and all hotels in Malaysia.

The best value for money was the Cleme membership at Bangkok Marriott Marqueen’s Park (Memaquinpa).

Please read all the details and if you click on the ‘become a member’ section on the website of the place you are interested in, an email will be sent automatically. It is best to reply to that email.

2. Types of Thai Kleme

Type 1) 9000 baht: Many additional vouchers such as buffet discount coupons, cake exchange coupons, spa discount coupons, etc.

Type 2) 5,500 baht: 4 vouchers for a 50% restaurant discount

For both types above, the accommodation voucher below is included as standard.

1 night free stay

1+1 accommodation voucher

And what I felt was the really good benefit of the Thai Clubme was the supplement card.

One additional card is provided for both types of membership above.

(Named/Plastic physical card/Sent by mail 7-10 days after signing up)

When I saw these two options… .. Who will buy Type 2? For 3500 baht more, Type 1 is much more profitable!!!!! I did it. lol

I bought type 2. Hahahahahahahaha

3. Use free accommodation voucher

Available at the hotels below.

Reservations must be made by phone in advance at Marriott .

When making a reservation, please mention that you will be using a Cleme voucher.

I requested to add my Marriott member number, and the reservation was immediately confirmed in my account.

Free accommodation vouchers cannot be received as tier benefits (QN not accumulated/points not accumulated/no upgrades)

4. Use 1+1 accommodation voucher

It is available at the hotels below.

Reservations must be made by phone in advance at Marriott.

They say you can’t get 1+1 tier benefits.

However, it is said that QN/points are accumulated for one paid night ====> I think you should check this after your stay.

As expected, the reservation is confirmed directly in my Marriott account.

5. You can get a membership fee just by using the accommodation voucher.

The numbers just came out

The text just comes out, so follow along carefully.

I signed up for 5,500 baht.

An online account is created about 3 hours after signing up.

As soon as I signed up, I immediately made a reservation for 3 nights using the free accommodation voucher.

I made a reservation with Mema Queen Par.

1-night accommodation voucher: Used when the cost is 5,200 baht

1+1 total 2-night stay voucher: Use when cell price is 9000 baht

Cleme membership fee: 5,500 baht

1+1 paid rate per night: 4580 baht

=============================================

Total: 10080 baht

Per night: approximately 3360 baht

Well, just looking at the amount above, CLME is much more profitable simply in terms of numbers.

6. Miki’s idea of ​​Cleme’s cost-effectiveness 1

These days, if you get a good Memaquinpa BRG, you will get about 3,500-4,000 baht. (In the old days, it would have been 2,500 baht!! Don’t tell me this. These days, it really doesn’t cost that much!!!!!!)

If you use Mema Queen Pa for 3 nights with a Cleme voucher, I think it will be very profitable if it costs less than 3,500 baht per night, which is the above amount.

Of course, there are benefits such as tier benefits and point accumulation if you receive BRG.

6-1) When there is not enough time for BRG and lack of mental strength

6-2) There are no tiers… . People who are not obsessed with points or QN

6-3) When making additional reservations after finding BRG

6-4) What kind of lounge is this in Bangkok!!!! People who want to eat a lot of delicious food outside

I think it’s really worth recommending to the people above.

So, first of all, I made the membership fee ‘Samsam’ with free accommodation.

7. Miki’s thoughts on CLME’s cost-effectiveness 2 –

using MZ7 code

20% discount on reservations

As mentioned at the beginning above

Cleme is not a luxury hotel.

When I looked by country… ..

Some Marriott, some JW

Most of the programs focus on Courtyard, Arlop, Four Points, etc.

So, I think it would be really good for those who usually plan to stay at mid-priced hotels.

Bangkok for example,

It is easy to find BRG for hotels above Marriott.

Hotels below that level, such as Courtyard, Aloft, and Four Points, are difficult to find. It’s really difficult. Moreover, the hotel price is low, so even if you are approved and receive a 25% discount, the benefit is minimal compared to the effort.

However, hotels in this category have a 20% discount with Clomero.

In the case of ‘Rayong Marriott’, which I highly recommend, the amount found through BRG and the amount approved for 20% were almost the same.

In the case of ‘Pattaya Courtyard’, which I found by chance, the Clome discount was actually better in terms of value.

In the case of Bangkok Courtyard, if you get a 20% discount from Cleme, a cell fee of 2800 baht is created, so I think it is very useful when you are in a hurry or want to spend a lot of money (Bangkok Courtyard is also one of the places I am very curious about because it has been remodeled).

If you make a reservation at a low or mid-price price like this, you can get a 20% discount using code MZ7.

my head hurts

hurt my feelings

brg You don’t have to look for it.

(But since I don’t have brg, it’s not fun to open the mailbox. I really enjoyed half and half of that excitement^^)

8. Miki’s thoughts on CLME’s cost-effectiveness 3

I think Thai Klimme is a bit special.

30% discount on food and beverages at the hotels listed below in Bangkok.

Of course, there are some limitations, which you will fully understand if you read the details.

The best thing is that there is no minimum number of people limit for the 30% discount. (Other vouchers, such as buffet vouchers, have a requirement of 2 or more people)

I think it will be very useful if you use it alone.

30% can be used continuously during the membership period without limit.

Although the Marriott chain abolished food and beverage discounts based on tier,

While traveling to Bangkok in the second half of 2022, I saw that Thailand is still discounted with Tier Benefits.

If it is flat or higher, there is a discount of up to 20%.

If you have a club, you will get an even bigger discount.

If you do not have a tier, the additional discount will be much larger. Awesome!!!!!!!

9. Miki’s thoughts on Cleme’s cost-effectiveness 4 –

50% meal discount voucher

You might think that this doesn’t have much of an advantage since you can actually use it by purchasing a 50% coupon from EATIGO.

The advantage of this voucher is that it can be used at any time without time limit… . .

In other words, in the case of Memaquinpa’s evening seafood buffet, it’s 6 o’clock? 5 O’clock? I think this is a significant advantage because you can use it as soon as the door opens.

You can also get discounts at restaurants that aren’t on Eatigo.

Actually, this voucher is just an appendix.

I’ve already gotten my money’s worth from the accommodation voucher, so I guess I can just use the rest of the discount comfortably.

10. So which is better in terms of cost-effectiveness between the 9,000 baht and the 5,500 baht?
