Got this reply:

"Thank you for contacting Marriott Rewards regarding travel packages.

When using your points to purchase a travel package, there are no additional miles or bonuses added. The airline bundles that are included are exact amounts. At this time I am not familiar with any upcoming promotions that would add bonus miles to a package.

I hope this answers your question. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us again!

Thank you for choosing Marriott.

Sincerely, "

But, of course, as hhoope01 points out, the promo page specifically mentions 12,000 miles, and the only way to get that is by cashing in for a travel package.

It seems that the promo was poorly thought out (certainly poorly worded and contradictory in places) and that they haven't passed the info to the troops.

Funny, because the start date was about three weeks ago.

I would copy all the info I could get and then get on the phone with the minions at SLC before I actually did a package deal.
