If You Did Not Receive an Offer
... And then there are a number of people who (as in every MegaBonus cycle) have not had any version of this promo show up in their account. You can try concating Marriott to fix that (and an interactive method such as a phone call may be more likely to succeed than a non-interactive method like email).

Once You Get a MegaBonus
... Once you call or email Marriott and are given a MegaBonus, it will take several days to show in your account. Be patient.

If Your Were Granted a Change to Your MegaBonus Offer
... Your old MegaBonus offer will continue to show on the Marriott site. The agent you spoke to noted your account and will usually make the adjustment about a week after the MegaBonus period ends. If the adjustment is not made by then, call Marriott Rewards and they will adjust it manually for you.

Double points starting with 2nd stay, max of 20k extra.

Pity I have plenty of Marriott stays planned Aug 30 through Sep 14, and nothing after . However, I already expected the misery given the MegaBonus promotion period in previous years...

No thanks; I'm enjoying my freedom too much

I'll stay at Marriott when the hotel "wins" on merit..

Platinum here - nothing yet on my promo's page.

Surprised Marriott decided to jump back on the promo bandwagon! Wonder if the Summer non-promo strat had anything to do with it.

Agree with Wickersley, haven't stayed at a Marriott for 4+ months and not missing it.

Got the first offer. 2000 pts per stay starting with the 2nd stay.

Also was targeted for August Points
"As part of a special group, we’re excited to tell you that your next exclusive earning opportunity is here.
To earn up to 50,000 bonus points:
Register by September 30, 2015
Stay at participating hotels between August 15 and November 15, 2015
Earn 5,000 bonus points with every second paid stay*, starting with your second stay, up to 50,000 bonus points"

Don't have any stays planned at Marriott but even with both these offers it isn't enough for me to switch. Marriott Silver btw and they gave me a targetted gold status a couple months ago

By the way, anyone been auto registered? This is the first time in some time that I have not been.
The wiki for last year does not record that. Can you please add yours to this years?

Was hoping for a stay certificate offer. This one isn't going to entice me to return to the Marriott fold.
Same, and same.

I'm not certain I can arrange 15+ nights with MR during the promo period, so this is a bridge too far. Plus, a bonus of effectively 1000/night for those 15 nights is not stellar. When IHG's Share Forever promo ends I'll roll onto Hilton's double/triple points promo. That pays more AND it pays starting with the first stay.

I got this one-"Earn 15,000 bonus points after 15 paid nights + 2,000 bonus points after each additional night, up to 35,000 bonus points."

I am not quite sure how MR is targetting these,as my wife received the same -as a MR Gold( due to the UA program) with 0 stays this year.

I am unsure whether I will pursue this one at all. Hilton and Hyatt have been working well for me this summer as I backed off my use of Marriott.

Vickie,

I was talking about the Spring MegaBonus earlier this year. There were two offers for 15 nights. One got you 15K for 15, plus 2K afterwards; the other got you 25K for 15, 2K afterwards. Exactly the same, except one got you 10K extra. I was just pointing this out to say it is possible that dank0014 did get an offer for 35K after 20 nights. I got the 25K after 20 nights that is already in the wiki. Was also just moaning about the fact that I got offered the one that was 10K less points both in the spring and this time, despite being PP.

I also have to note that Marriott is offering 5% at Top Cashback for existing customers, but 7% for new customers (been like that for a while now), so I have to wonder if they are arranging things to try and draw in new customers by rewarding them a bit more than long-time customers?

I found my offer in my account this morning. As a lifetime Plat and PP, I got 25,000 points for 20 nights and 2,000 points for each additional night up to 45,000 total. If there's a 55,000 offer out there, it would have been nice to see it for me.

WARNING: Do not assume that you are registered. The new style of account page can be confusing. In mine, I see the following:

Your Promotions:
New (1)
Already Registered:
None at this time

It would be very easy to see the words "Already Registered" and assume that you don't need to register for the new MegaBonus promo.

Auto-enrolled for this but wish I could have received the 55K one. They have adjusted me up a few times with no problems previously when I achieved those terms so I expect to get that again.
