Read this thread yesterday. I figured go the old route- call the MR people. Which I just did, explained that a couple of friends told me they were able to get this double pt credit after their 1st stay bet 7/15&9/15. The guy said hold on looked it up, and told me after it ends 9/15 I will have the 2x posted manually.
I took his name and ext #. I have a week upcoming beginnig of Aug at a Renaisance overseas, so B4 that Ill just do a mattress run, worth it for 10,000+ extra pts. So off to Roomsaver to find a $59 or $69 place in NJ or CT, there are a number of them.
Im a Silver with Marriott. I suggest anyone who didnt get targeted do likewise.
