Can I still get Marriott points and benefits if I don’t book directly with them? Like booking directly with Expedia or another 3rd party?
I was just terminated from the deals group. I’ve let myself go in terms of my health and weight. I figured I’d use a good chunk of the severance time to get in shape over the summer and focus on my health but my friends and family are pushing me to find a way to juggle both and call me crazy for taking my time. My plan is to build a morning routine of fitness and work that into my new schedule when I’m rehired. Any thoughts ?
Usually not. You don’t even get points staying as part of a block booking.

Marriott is now usually one of the lower lrkces
I got one time exemption as I didnt know they don't honor bookings via 3rd party site for points, but I think that was more because the CS agent was generous.
No. However, some corporate booking portals allow you to get points and benefits if you select the right options. I had to figure out my concur and Egencia/Amex Travel to make sure I get my points and bennies!!!
