What's the point of being referred when you are not entitled to earn bonus? According to the terms and conditions:
"New members who join through the Refer a Friend program must designate Marriott Rewards points as their earning preference."
Both the referral and referree will not gain any benefits from your first 5 stays this year if you earn airline points thru the stays.
