[QUOTE=pinniped]Every time Marriott runs a new Megabonus, we usually get a thread or two that lists what offers people are getting. Quickly, someone posts links to all of the possible Megabonuses, and folks post their elite level, the offer they received, and sometimes their general level of happiness with their offer.
So...how happy are you, over the course of time, with your offers?
In the past, my Megabonus offers have been either way too high - meaning there was no way I could reach it - or far too simple, meaning I couldn't earn many points. But this time, the offer I got fits right: it's appropriate for my current "pace", meaning it will likely end up being a win-win. Marriott will get a solid stay pace from me in an off-peak season, and I'll get 25,000 bonus points.
What about you? Do they come well-tailored for your recent/current stay pattern? Do they seem to be trying to bump your pace up a bit? Or are they just lame - stay a few times for 5,000 bonus points and you're done.
Occasionally I can benefit from the offer. My offer was 15 nights/25,000 points. In past years, that would have been perfect for me. Now I might rather have MGF66 (10000 points after 3rd stay).
