Maybe September, if Arne still believes properties have no trouble filling rooms.

For many of us, the system melted down sometime in early April. Maybe a coincidence, but my guess is it had something to do with the end of the spring promotion. My stays and redeemable points are posting correctly again, however my LT points have not changed since 3.31.17 - 18 Marriott nights ago for me.

This is an example of where a lack of a promotion is changing where I stay. The Diamond Triple Bonus at Hilton puts my earnings there way ahead of Marriott so that's where I'm staying and if I get the lowest promotion again like I always seem to do, then I'll max it out and switch back again.

Perhaps usually over the long run, but not either of the past two years.
There is no 'usually" about it any more. While it was mid-May for a long time before that, two years ago (2015) there was no summer promo at all:
and last year (2016) it didn't start until June 1 and it wasn't "discovered" that there would actulally be one that year until May 23:
Because there hadn't been a summer promo at all in 2015, and because mid-May had come and gone with no mention of a summer promo, people weren't sure as of May 22 whether there would be a summer promo in 2016 or not.

IHG's summer promo is rolling out. I got an email today about the next Accelerate promo, starting May 15. Right now with both them and Hilton offering clear promos I'm having a tough time choosing Marriott for bookings later this month.

Must admit, I'm torn...
No summer Promo = less earning potential.
Stay elsewhere = won't make LTP this year
Decisions, decisions....
