So if you were really long term stay, you'd keep earning no matter how long you were there.
I stayed when the promotion gave you XXX points for each stay. Every time they checked me out at $1000 I got the promotion, I tried twice on the phone to let Marriott know I shouldn't have gotten the points but no one seemed to want to listen, so I gave up.
