Open

Marriott's Group Commission Portal has three types of access:

  • Administrator:  This access is typically assigned to the person who manages financial operations for your organization. The Administrator has access to all Group Commission Portal features including the ability to manage Group Commission Portal access for other users. If your organization does not have an Owner/Verified Administrator established with ARC/IATA/CLIA, users will be unable to gain access to the Group Commission Portal until one is established.
  • Co-Administrator:  This access can only be granted by the organization's verified Administrator and has the same access as an Administrator.
  • Delegate:  This access may be granted by the organization's verified Administrator or Co-Administrator, and can view commission statements, search commissions, and submit commission inquiries. Delegates are not authorized to sign-up for, modify and/or cancel direct deposit, or manage access to the Group Commission Portal for other users.

Although Marriott typically processes all components of a group commission at the same time, the presence of a second (or third) payment date for an event indicates folio or billing activity that occurred after the group master bill was processed. Such instances are the result of late settlement of attendee folios or of adjustments requested by you or the hotel.
