I missed this being announced (just tend to skim the marketing emails from Creation).

I've had this offer, but did wonder if the second paragraph you've quoted means the bonus points are only applicable on those purchase categories - 3 points per £ on UK restaurants is 3 times the normal rate for non-Marriott spend. Why call restaurants out specifically if the triple rate applies to all purchases (groceries, retail, etc.)?

Interesting question - the first paragraph doesn't qualify purchases, but the second could imply that it is only purchases within those specific categories.

I checked yesterday and have not received my bonus yet. It said 4 to 6 weeks after the end of the promo on July 31, and we are now 7 weeks. Going to give it another week or so before I contact them, but I have had good experience with getting points posted that should have in the past.

I don't think they have credited yet. Of course it is Creation who are unpredictable and overall inept so who knows.
Btw having complained recently about how they delayed crediting a payment, thus causing interest to be charged, I have no faith in their complaint handling either.

The email about this promotion came from Bonvoy, not Creation, so I’m not sure how to even chase up the missing bonus points! I guess it’s best to wait another week at least, before trying to work out who to call.

In my case the details of the offer were on a creation statement.

I've sent in a message to Creation via the online form on the 4th (so 6 days ago), and have heard nothing. I'll try Marriott this week. I'm not feeling hopeful.

I've messagd Marriott, as my email came from them, but suspect I will be told to take it up with Creation. That's assuming know anything about the promo, or that Creation issue a Marriott branded credit card

I contacted Bonvoy but Twitter DM (I also got the email from Marriott). They told me to contact the credit card company first to get confirmation they have sent the points to Bonvoy.
