I just hate staying with family as I feel imposing on them, so even if a few blocks from metro, all good. As a native Russian speaker, not an issue. I actually prefer hotels away from the Kremlin area, if we are calling that the center.
For St. Petes, my favorite is actually the IHG Crown Plaza airport location. Such a nice modern hotel. hehe. Club room there is awesome.
But even for Cat 4 and 5, the certs go a lot further overseas. =P
I digress.

Got the CAT 1-5 offer for my wife and myself.
Here are the 4 different promo T&C that I found:
Stay 2 Get CAT 1-5 Cert - Max 2 Certs
15 Nights Get 25K, 5 more Nights Get add'l 15K - Total 40K for 20 Nights
12 Nights Get 25K, 6 more Nights Get add'l 15K - Total 40K for 18 Nights
20 Nights Get 35K, 5 more Nights Get add'l 15K - Total 50K for 25 Nights
So, look like no more CAT 1-4 certs offer.

I just turned MR Gold and got the 20=35k > 5=10k offer. I'll turn Plat in October and will have 3 nights per week at a CY through November. Wondering what would make more sense - this or the certs? Any of you have a suggestion?

Personally I like points since they dont expire and are more flexible to use. But if you think you might not hit 25 nights then go with certs.

I got the stay 20 nights promo. Too bad I won't have 20 nights during that timeframe. I would have liked the stay 2 get 1 free promo.
Cheers.

I'm Marriott Silver and see no promo for the last 3 days
I'm earning Points for sure, not miles (I've changed back and forth and no luck)
I also tried on 2 computers, 2+ browsers, at work & home, no luck
I've received all previous Megabonus/Unexpected offers too
This is frustrating

(I did ask why I didn't receive anything, and she said there could be a problem with the website.)

I emailed today and asked for the 2x Cat 5 certs promo. Still nothing showing up in Promo Central, but there is a big banner on my front page touting MEGABONUS!
When I click on "Learn More" I get the error message.
