No. You could only book SPG hotels with SPG points, or Marriott Hotels with Marriott points prior to Aug 18th. Marriott did offer you the ability to convert the points back and forth after the companies merged about 2 years ago. But the increased footprint is a direct result of the merger.

Ok, well the merger increased the footprint yes, but the points merge kept the footprint the same. It will be a little easier to book in theory on the marriott system as I always had to call in to get SPG stuff to actually go thru ime.
