When it should post:
  • The stay bonus should post with each stay on which you earn it.
  • The brand bonus does not post with each stay, and according to what we've heard will likely not post until some time after the promo ends.

What kind of stays count:
  • Only stays on which you normally earn Marriott points count.
  • Award stays (including cash + points stays) do not count.
  • Third-party stays on which you don't earn Marriott points do not count.

So, that means 36k max that you can get with different brands, if the first stay doesn't count.

It's weird that they didn't mention the maximum cap that you can get the MR points, so you can get (108-1)*2000 = 214k MR points, if you hop every stay from now towards the end of summer.

If there's something missing, let me know.

Got the same offer as well. Doesn't seem like there is a cap on points for stays.
Has anyone received a different offer?

When I log in I have "No new promotions." Either it's a staggered rollout or it is targeted.

Or, like in previous promo cycles, Marriott IT misses some people for no known reason. (It's too early to figure out whether that's going to happen with this promo, but it has happened in every previous promo, where some people had to call to find out their promo and get registered.)

Exclamation Want a multi-night-friendly promo? Head over to SPG!

And for all of those who hate the fact that this is promo is per stay (and thus gives nothing extra on multi-night stays), the SPG promo is exactly the opposite: It gives nothing at all for one-night stays, and gives double points on all stays of two nights or more (triple if there's a Friday or Saturday in the stay):

As of right now I did not receive a promo. Wondering if there will be multiple versions or if as others have pointed out sometimes people are just missed and you have to call in to get it fixed.

And on that thread you will find those who hate the fact that the SPG promo requires multi-night stays

I have an upcoming stay May 26-May 29. Will this count as my first stay, or will it not count as I am checking in before May 27?

Thanks

Clarification, please: although no bonus points awarded, does the first stay during the promo period count to set the "brand"? If so, does that mean that one never gets a brand-credit for that one - or the brand-credit is awarded on the next stay there?

Same promo as everyone else so far posted: Get 2,000 bonus points per stay beginning with your second stay and an additional 2,000 points for each new brand you stay with.

Reminds me more of the badge collection effort that they keep track of on your Activity page - except a little more earning friendly than 25 points after 2 stays at a hotel brand.

With this promo (Summer 2017), would have been nice if MR had increased the Brand Explorer badge earning - 250 points is not terribly meaningful.

That's the way I read it. My first stay is an Autograph collection. I assume that if I go back to an Autograph I won't get a brand-credit. I will get one for my first stay at Marriott and am thinking of changing one Marriott stay to Courtyard just to pick up the extra 2,000.

I don't travel a lot any more so I think 4 brands is all I can hit on this one (Autograph, Marriott, Courtyard, Fairfield)
