Just saw a new promotion on the Marriott Rewards website. For those who are earning Marriott points, and who pay with Visa, and who register, they will give *double* points *and* double nights, starting with your second stay between 10/15 and 3/31. Also, you have until 3/31 to finalize your status for next year.

I think this is a pretty good solution. It rewards those who are returning to travel, gives more time, and makes it easier to qualify (double nights), without just giving it away to people who earned their status through promotions, etc.

[Edited to correct end date of promotion]
