While the second stage will be member-specific (and thus she couldn't tell me what my second promo would be), she did say it is a points-per-stay promo.
So none of these emails that went out over the weekend (or today) went to FT Marriott forum members? Because we don't seem to have a single post yet from anyone who got such an email here. Anything at Marriott Insiders or anywhere else?
They don't realize that combination of this and their two-day cancellation could end up biting them. For example, I have a stay on Monday a week from now, but if I can't sign up for the "unlocked" promo by Saturday, I'll have to cancel by then, so an email next Sunday won't help me a bit (nor will it help the hotel which well get as last-minute-as-can-be a cancellation, will it?
).
And I already didn't make another Marriott reservation (for this week) solely because I had no notification of this promo yet. So the longer this goes on, the longer Marriott is losing out on business from any people who are not 110% committed to Marriott. Don't they realize that???
