If you know what this is about, here is the last message I posted after getting my 40K!

I got it!

I don't know how this happened b/c I didn't even stay the required 18 nights yet. I've been busting my hump trying to make it happen, but thought I would fall short. Then today I check my account on line and voila...40,000 for the mega bonus!

I think the kicker here was that I had a week long stay at the Ren. in Seattle that started before the bonus date and ended after it. I paid for one of my employees and used my MR number on her room as well. They must have counted my entire stay for both of us. I also paid for my wife to take advantage of some cheap nights at another Marriott while I was on the road and use my MR number...they counted her stay as well!

I'm not a die hard traveller like a lot of folks here, but I had used all of my points on a trip to Maui/Kauai last August and am already at 150,000 again...another free week's stay!

I love this country!
