Has anyone here both booked and held a meeting under REWARDING EVENTS, and received a 10 night credit. I have read a bunch of debate on how the new program will work but nobody has reported based on the above criteria... at least that I have seen.

Personal European traveller here. I see some difficulties in maintaining 50 nights a year compared with the old spg program where I could invite my friends to stay at the same hotel as I do and get credit up to three rooms a night. Same with stay credit.
The 5 night earning award for p50 is also for the same current year so it's not possible to have those 5 nights for the next earning period. Big bummer.
The way I see it is this way:
*Reserve a meeting gives me 10 night once every earning period. Down to 40 nights.
*Hope for a double night promotion but it can be difficult to score a personal 2-3 week holiday due to work etc. Promotions like that usually pop up whenever Marriott wants, usually off season.
*40 nights spread out through the year. Lager travels spring summer, new years eve. Could add up 40 nights but will be tough.
For Americans it's much easier with the 15 night from the cc. Europeans are left out as always. Sadly.

Assuming the benefits are similar to the old one that disappeared a while back, holders of this CC should get 10 elite night credits.
So with a meeting and the CC that would leave just 30 nights for Plat.

Rewarding Events 10 elite night credit
I am fairly new here. i just got my first proposal for a meeting. I requested the meeting space on the Marriott website, as a meeting RFP. I got an email response with two pics of the meeting space, a date and a price. I have not received a contract to sign, yet. Can anyone advise how I should proceed, to be sure I get the 10 elite night credit?
