Stayed _1_ night each at a Marriott and a Courtyard _last week_ at the beginning of the promotion - after having a 1 night stay at a Residence Inn as what I thought would be my "throwaway" stay on 09/26/2018. Nothing is shown on the MegaBonus page as a qualifying stay for either the MR or CY.

So, this week, I have a 4 night stint at a Renaissance. Guess what, I'll get no real promotion credit for this stay.

_ONLY_ after this stay will any of the 2,000 bonus point / 2-night+ stays count toward the MegaBonus.

So be warned, you won't get anything for those 1 nights (except at the end for the 1,000 points / new brand) until you do your 2+ night "throwaway" stay - or maybe even nothing if they decide to interpret a "stay" at a brand as "2 nights+".

Would appreciate it if William or one of the lurkers could clarify if that's how the "and 1,000 bonus points per brand" is to be interpreted.

Edit: never mind - saw the quote of post 125 in the wiki.
