Megabonus 2009

freeflyin · Dec 18, 08, 9:41 am

Did not see this posted anywhere and did not find it in a search-

I just logged on to my MR account and found an offer of 40,000 points for 20 nights starting 2/1/09.I have moved most of my stays elsewhere because of the new "enhancements" so I doubt i'll hit it.

I have the 50k points for 25 nights offer.

I also got 40K points after 20 nights. Will call for 50K.
Thanks for posting this.

Update: Called to switch and was told it was not possible but if I hit the higher threshold, the extra points will be awarded.
Now, I remember

This is going to make Marriott Rewards better than SPG because they've also changed the platinum bonus points from 30% to 50%, effective 1/15/09.

Also thanks - good thing to be aware of, and this time (for the first time ever) got the 50k without having to ask for an uplift!

For anyone wanting the url its here;

The market must be bad if they are already advertising this and the current megabonus hasn't ended yet (until the 15th Jan I believe)

I am just a Marriott Silver and I only got an offer for 25,000 points. Is there any way to get a better one?

"You're not dreaming. This is real and a really good opportunity to earn thousands of extra Marriott Rewards® points. Just register for the MegaBonus promotion and receive 5,000 points for every other paid stay you make at Marriott hotels - starting with your second stay. You can earn a maximum of 25,000 points toward the vacation of your dreams"

I'm Platnium and have been for several years straight. I just checked my MR and no Megabonus 2009 promotion for me.

Why is there these different levels of Megabonuses anyway? I noticed last year among some of my coworkers that we didn't all have the same promotion.

When I went into the Web site, it showed eligibility for the 25k offer. When I enrolled, it showed the 50k offer.

imverge · Dec 18, 08, 11:41 am

I got the 50K offer. I doubt I'll hit it as I've shifted more stays over to SPG where the LURKER (unlike here at The Marriott board where us members have to dig up this info ourselves) announced the up-coming promo. 500 SPG points per night, plus 5000 bonus points for every 10 stays with unlimited point earnings!!

Marriott your going to have to try harder... much harder to remain my business especially after the massive point devaluation, **cough** I mean "enhancements" around the corner.

Me too.

OK Offer but I'm going to pass after Marriott's recent devaluation and how they continue to call it an 'enhancement' after everyone saw right through it.

craz · Dec 18, 08, 12:33 pm

figure this 1 out

I got 20 for 35k and 25 for 50k

my friend got 15 for 25k and 20 for 40k

I like his 20 for 40k alot better then mine 20 for 35k

with my reg Renaissance no longer a Renaissance there went 55 nights a yr, so Im having enough trouble getting to 20 nights on teh present Mega let alone figure out how to get it in on the new 1.

But

for these Promos, makes SPGs look like a Hilton Promo

Cargojon · Dec 18, 08, 1:29 pm

Nothing yet for me - wouldn't let me register via the link either.
Guess I'll just wait and see.

I should finish up by Fall/Winter 2008 Megabonus by the 15th of Jan....

GlennTheBaker · Dec 18, 08, 4:17 pm

I got 2500 for each paid stay, beginning with the second stay. Max 25000 points.

Where was that promo

Are those bonus points or base? I'm already getting 5 points per $$ with my MR Card and that easily adds up to at least 2500 pts per "stay". Marriott normally does per "night" promos.

The terms I have for the Spring '09 Megabonus are exactly the same as for the current Megabonus promo. I don't think it is accurate to say that

as the type of promo varies from member to member.
