I think they had this same issue around the same time last year... wouldn't be surprised if you get up to ten extra nights that are clawed back in the future...

Spouse Silver with 2 nights this year. October BD got email

Me: Platinum, 4 nights from requal. August BD no email

And this week I got a tweet giving me 500 points for being a loyal MR member. 19 years yielded 500 points. Wasn't expecting anything so I guess it is still a bonus

Has this promotion ended now?

(or have I been "ignored" as I've already re-qualified as Plat)?

I got a birthday free night email (stay more than 2 nights in my birthday month and get a free cat 1-5 certificate). Completed the "challenge" and it posted this week.

/text of the email (birthday in mid-March, email received 2/11):

Treat yourself to a stay* during your birthday month and we'll gift you a free night for a future stay.
REGISTER NOW
*Stay must be 2 or more nights and include a Friday or Saturday night. Your free night certificate will be good at any category 1-5 hotel.

My birthday was in February & I received the email. I clicked on the link, even though I don't really need the night due to LTP status.

Hmm, I didn't see that on mine but then again I wasn't really looking for it. Will do so next year if they continue w/ the promo & have something like this.

Cheers.

I got this deal on 2/11 and was really busy at work and didn't worry about it at that time as my Birthday is in Late March too. I tried to register a few days ago and got an error. I emailed them about it and they said that I needed to register within 2 weeks of receiving the email. My email says nothing about any type of registration deadline much less about having to register a month in advance of when it's actually active.

All of their other promotions clearly mention a "register by" date. This one says nothing. We're thinking of doing a long weekend trip next week which would have qualified. Now I'm thinking of staying in a non-Marriott location because I'm so annoyed about it.

Glad I caught this thread! My email preferences weren't set, so I fixed that and hope it works. I already have a 3-night stay booked during my birth month.

Birthday Gift
With great fanfare and flourishes I just received my birthday gift announcement. With great anticipation and excitement, I clicked on "Claim Your Gift" to open my surprise gift and what do I get? A free elite night credit to speed me along to elite status. Nice gesture but totally irrelevant and useless for a Lifetime Plat member. What kind of dolts (who are actually earning a salary) dreamed this up. Why not flag LTP's and offer something of value like a cat 1-5 or 6 cert or some serious points--maybe make it member's choice .

I am still just rolling my eyes at the total stupidity of this valueless gesture. It is almost insulting that they cannot figure out who their elite members are.

Are they still giving a nights credit for your birthday?
