If all had said 10 nights and maybe none had posted, or none mentioned nights - then maybe an IT glitch on the merger.

Between the case where someone had six meetings post on 08/18 and only the first gave any nights, and the pre-08/18 email language for GPT email not mentioning nights at all (see @xar in post #127 ) because each meeting in the old program gave 10 nights per the terms...and now the new one having a nights line, because between 1st meeting granting 10 nights and all meetings being eligible to get up to 20 EQN (1 EQN for every 20 related room booking nights) and the 2nd + subsequent meetings being blank on that line if there were no related room booking nights or <20 of them... the treatment under the 08/18 T&C for Rewarding Events seems abundantly clear at this point.

I'm sure those who had pre-08/18 meetings post on or after 08/18 and not get 10 nights per meeting will be able to have Marriott correct it, but the behavior described ITT of the GPT on 08/18 seems to have confirmed the new normal for Rewarding Events, IMO.
Keep in mind this is a multiple-step process, the property posts the event on-site using the GPT and points get credited. Then notification is sent to MR (now MPG) that the event has occurred and they post the nights. I'm thinking that is the bottle neck right now with them not processing the nights until their system settles out. Just like CC points, these can be easily held up and processed as a bigger batch when everything has been worked out. Make sense?
