2012 Member Refer a Member Sign-Up Bonus
Since it's a new year, thought it made sense to start a new thread for the Member Refer A Member Sign Up Bonus Program. I'll ask the mod to close the 2011 thread, so people don't have to slog through hundreds of posts for details.

Should give you all the info you need. But if anyone has questions re: the program, etc, please feel free to post in this thread. The bottom line is you can refer 5 people per year; you get 2,000 points per stay up to 5 stays per person, as do they (and once they join, they can then refer 5 people).
If you're asking for a referral it would help if you really do plan to stay at a Marriott in the next year. Like others I've been asked to refer folk, but the bonus points don't really add up so in some cases I've referred folk who ended up not staying at Marriotts, which was a waste of a referral for both sides.
The bennies to me (and other folk who refer) is that we get bonus points when the person we refer stays at Marriotts & of course the bennie to those being referred is that they get bonus points as well. Win-win.
Also, as others have mentioned in the old thread, it does speed up the process if, when you PM folk asking for a referral, that your provide a valid email at the time. That's what we provide to Marriott to get the invite sent to you & just eliminates us having to PM back, hey can you send me your email.
Also please note that it takes a few hours after the referral for the invite to actually hit your email in box (and check your spam box).
Another thing - it's not required, but is certainly helpful - please PM your referrer (is that a word?) when you've accepted the invite so that they know the process worked.
And then stay at Marriotts, hopefully have good experiences, and enjoy the bonus points for staying at them. Also, as someone has mentioned in the past, once you're a member you can refer other folk. Another win-win.
Since it's a new year, I can refer 5 people as can other FTers. Obviously it's not required, but it would help if those doing the referrals do them for themselves first (vs themselves and the relatives and the biz colleagues) to give their fellow FTers a chance to do referrals.
Cheers.

I manage many accounts for friends and family, so I have dozens of referrals left - essentially an endless supply. No need to post your email nor request here. Just click here to PM me your email address and I'll generate a referral to be sent to you in a jiffy. Did it dozens of times successfully in 2011. 2,000 bonus points per stay for you (up to 10,000) in 2012 if you do. Thanks, and enjoy!

I would love to refer someone. I referred my MIL years ago but she never traveled so of course I never received any points.
