Dear Mr. Lester,

Thank you for contacting Marriott Rewards regarding the 2011 Fall Visa MegaBonus Promotion.

Our records show that your account is enrolled in the 2011 Fall Visa MegaBonus Promotion. The earning dates begin September 15, 2011, and end January 15, 2012. You have been selected to receive a bonus of 35,000 Marriott Rewards points when you stay a total of 20 Visa paid nights. You can receive an additional bonus of 15,000 Marriott Rewards points, up to a maximum bonus of 50,000 points, when you stay a total of 25 Visa paid nights.

However, as you are a valued Platinum Elite member, I would be happy to manually track this bonus offer for you while paying with your American Express.

I have documented your account; however, you will not be able to view your progress online. Approximately two weeks after the end of the promotion, around January 30, 2012, I will manually credit the bonus to your account.

Thank you for choosing Marriott.

Sincerely,

Very nice of them and now I'll make my bonus! Just thought I'd share.
