Trouble Using Marriott Credit Card at some Marriott Properties?

I just checked-in at a Courtyard earlier and they told me at check-in that my Marriott credit card was being read as invalid when they swiped it.  When they typed it in the machine, it was the same thing.  So they asked for a different credit card.  This was weird because I just used it before checking-in and decided to use it at a restaurant after checking-in.  Both before and after worked.


This happened to me as well two weeks back at a Fairfield Inn right across this property I am staying at.  At first I thought it was a fluke but lightning shouldn't strike twice.  Has something similar happened to other people when using their Marriott credit card?
