So with the lack of a good promotion I'm changing brands for a while and seeing what else is out there. How about a little something to bring me back?

United surprised me this week with a couple rounds of Regional upgrades for each flight I take. I'd love to see a promotion where if I stay at a Marriott a couple times I get a free night certificate or something. That would be enough for the time being. Heck, make it stack up, or tier it...the more I stay the sweeter the deal gets.

Doubling stay counter does nothing for me...cute, but meaningless. And carryover isn't really that big of deal. Anyway, this is a bout the marginal stays. Give me a little something and you'll earn my business. No specials and I'm shopping the brands to see what else is out there. I know it's just marginal business, but I assume every stay counts these days...or maybe not? I guess it doesn't matter much to me, I don't have any stock in Marriott.
