I stayed at chain this past year and didn't sign up for their Reward program, bc the chance of me ever staying there again was about 0. Wasn't worth the time. There are tons of people that stay at Marriotts that are not rewards Members for a variety of reasons.
The offer is for Marriott Rewards members that book through Marriott.com please read the details. It is not everyone booking through Marriott.com
And therefore the tons of non members will not get free Internet. I would say this is more an attempt to get more people to sign up, and generate more repeat business than it is to please existing members
