Clarification from Starwood Lurker in post 125:
- In regards to the part of the offer where you can earn 1,000 points for trying a new brand…There is no minimum length of stay, but you only earn it starting with the second brand. So if you only stay at one brand during the promo period, you will not earn this bonus. But if you stay at 2 or more brands, you will earn 1,000 points for each of those brands after the first one even if the stay is only one night.
- You earn on every stay of 2+ nights, so it isn’t about accumulating nights. If you have two stays of 1 night each, you will not earn a bonus. If you have two accounts, you may register for MegaBonus with either or both accounts. You will only be able to earn with one account at a time because you will earn the bonus points in whichever account the stay was booked with. Example: If you have two accounts that are not combined: If you register for MegaBonus with your SPG number and stay with your SPG number, you will earn the bonus points in your SPG account. If you register for MegaBonus with your SPG number but book your stay with your MR number, you will not earn bonus points.

Not sure. It isn't there today but will give it some time.
I almost didn't bother with it. I do have a 4 night stay at a Marriott where a conference is being held so don't want to move that but everything else during this time period are Hilton property stays. I did add one cheap Springhill stay prior to my Marriott stay so I'll get the 3000 points but after that, I'll probably stay away until sometime next year.

So September 26th is rapidly approaching...(and I unfortunately have a 3 night stay right now at a Marriott that ends on September 27th)...
If I stay, for instance, at my reserved Marriott on September 26th for 1-night, then if I have a 2-night stay later on in the promo at a Marriott, will I:Or should I look for another brand (e.g. CY or RI) as my 1st night?

- Get the brand bonus on the second Marriott 2-night stay?
David
If you change them to different brands, you get 0 for your first stay (1 night) and 3000 for the next (2000 for a 2 night stay and 1000 for a new brand)
I don't think it matters what brand comes first but if you are going to try to max out the bonus with different brands, I'd probably pick a brand I wouldn't normally stay at. I tend to avoid RIs (and TP) when possible as they only give 5 points per $ spend.

I wrote an email to Marriott Internet Support because I couldn't register for this promo. This was their response. FYI, my accounts have been merged.
The promotion you were trying to register is through SPG, I am sharing details with my colleagues who specialize in SPG.
They will correspond with you directly. While Marriott and Starwood are officially operating as one company, it will take time to integrate our operations.
In the meantime, please feel free to reply back if there is anything I can do to help.

If they are both Marriott brand, you'll get 0 for your first stay (1 night) and 2000 for the second (2 night) stay
If you change them to different brands, you get 0 for your first stay (1 night) and 3000 for the next (2000 for a 2 night stay and 1000 for a new brand)
I don't think it matters what brand comes first but if you are going to try to max out the bonus with different brands, I'd probably pick a brand I wouldn't normally stay at. I tend to avoid RIs (and TP) when possible as they only give 5 points per $ spend.

I also avoid RI and TP for the same reason whenever possible.
