As a GE, when I log in, mine is:
"Earn up to 45,000 bonus points when you stay at any of our 3,600+ hotels worldwide with Marriott Rewards® Unexpected Bonus.
See Details
To earn your bonus points:
•Register by July 31, 2013
•Stay 15 paid nights at any participating hotel between May 15 and September 2, 2013
•Earn 25,000 bonus points, plus an additional 2,000 points after each additional paid night (up to 45,000 points)"
I am not going to be able to do it. Any Elite members have luck calling a requesting to switch to the offer for new members?
What other offers are out there?
Ever heard of telephone roulette? Just as with all of Marriott's bonus offers, some have been fortunate enough to get the right rep and have their bonus offer switched, and others have not been fortunate, while still others who were not fortunate the first time called back and the second rep was willing/able to switch them. It will likely be the same situation this time around with the "Unexpected Bonus," which everyone here expected, all except the weird name for it.
