Hotel discount fraud case in Singapore

Overview

An American woman is facing a potential prison sentence of up to three years in Singapore following allegations of hotel discount fraud. The case involves the unauthorized use of an ‘Explore by Marriott Bonvoy’ membership, which she reportedly purchased via Craigslist for approximately $300.

To obtain the discount, the woman allegedly posed as the sister of a Marriott employee. She used the membership for multiple stays at the Sheraton Towers Singapore, resulting in nearly $1,200 in unauthorized discounts before the fraud was detected by hotel management.
