Well Hilton's 5/10/15 were good but right now they aren't officially out and the actual offer is getting to be a distant memory. Hilton has been a comparative desert for promos for much too long.
That said the Marriott offer really doesn't look that great to me either. IHG has just put out its 1Q promos that reach 10K of their points for as little as 2 nights. That's more like it.

Even if one likes the Marriott 60k points for 30 nights better (or the other variations that in effect work out to 2k or 2.5k points per night), it's a moot point since the entire thing is targetted and many FT'ers have reported receiving no invitation at all to date (I have not received an offer).

As discussed in the thread I link, there are FT'ers (myself included) who were not targetted, I do know to log in to my account as disccused in that thread.

If a promotion starts on Jan. 5, but you have a five-night stay beginning Jan. 4, do the four nights from Jan. 5-9 count toward the ten-night requirement, or is the entire stay invalid?

In the face of the massive untimely devaluatin, Jeff Diskin (VP HH marketing) promised a boatload of fantastic public promotions this year.
Am I understanding that there is a new promo--but once again targeted?

This might even be true. The January Sale rates are so good, the do not need any further promotions. I booked a Junior Suite at the Bentley for a midweek stay in London for 176 Euro incl. breakfast. All comparable hotels of the other chains had about double that price.
