Last we heard they haven't started the new referral program yet. Geesh - what's taking so long?
So my advice to people who are traveling soon is forget the refer a member, sign up for MR # & don't forget to sign up for whatever MegaBonus program is going on to get points that way.
Once we find out from the site or MarriottConcierge that the refer a member program is active again, there will be lots of FTers willing to refer (including me

).
Cheers.
