Promo works for me. Just signed up. I was surprised to receive an email confirming that I'm successfully registered. Never got one on previous promos.

Not bad. My existing reservations for Jan-Feb (five stays, nine nights) net me 14,000 bonus points. I guess there will be more.

Okay, I've reread the T&C's three times. The question asked if the stay was from Saturday to Tuesday, so wouldn't that also be eligible for the weekend bonus? How does it not qualify....Saturday is one weekend night and Sunday is the second consecutive weekend night, then the Monday and Tuesday. Wouldn't that get four nights, of which two are consecutive weekend nights= 9,000 points?

No need for speculations anymore:

Good to have a separate thread for the promo.

Credit where it is due to FlyingOnceMore who found this promo originally earlier today in this post:

Sunday night is not considered to be a weekend night for this promotion.

I think this is down to the way you read it and not to just take the example they give and exclude other options.

Thursday-Sunday to me reads that Thur, Fri, Sat & Sun are classed as a weekend so if you stayed Sat+Sun you would get 5k points.

First of all I would certainly HOPE that the Sunday night would qualify as well. But, based on the terms and conditions it would not seem so.

Two consecutive nights BETWEEN Thursday and Sunday. Basically two options; Thursday + Friday or Friday + Saturday.

Private Pyle

Like I say, I think it's the way you are reading it.
Two consecutive nights BETWEEN Thursday and Sunday

So a Sat+Sun night falls between the range of between Thursday night & Sunday night surely?

Thanks.

That's what I'm reading it as, unless I'm misinterpreting the T&C. If someone starts a stay on a Saturday and checks out on Monday, wouldn't that booking then yield 2X1,000 + 5,000 for the weekend booking?

Maybe someone from HHonors can clarify it on here before someone books and doesn't get the 5,000 points for a Saturday and Sunday.

Pretty timid--not even double points for those paying more than $100 per night.

I guess I'll give 25 nights to Marriott to get 50K MR points (effectively triple points), and leave the scraps for Hilton.

Having it posted twice doesn't bother me because I don't spend much time on threads with "speculate" in the title, though I agree some credit to the person who found this would be appropriate.

That said, there's a long list of facilities that aren't participating.

I value Hilton points at a half cent each, so the weekend one is worth about $25 to me -- not bad if you're good at finding deep discount rates.
