Sign in to Marriott.com in order to be able to see the promo and register:
https://www.marriott.com/rewards/promotion.mi?promotion=FB18
  • Stay at any of our participating hotels and resorts worldwide between September 26, 2018 and January 31, 2019.
  • Earn 2,000 bonus points on all stays* of two or more nights and 1,000 bonus points per brand, starting with your second brand.
  • Play our game 29 Ways to Stay from October 11 through November 8 to learn more about our 29 brands and for the chance to win prizes, including points and free nights.**
  • Register by January 7, 2019
Nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for bonus points.

Finer print:
*A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity.

Registration is required. Marriott Rewards, Starwood Preferred Guest, and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards (“Loyalty Program”) members who register for this promotion by January 7, 2019 will earn 2,000 bonus points per stay on stays of 2 or more nights at participating brands. Plus, members can earn an additional 1,000 bonus points per brand starting with the second brand at which the member stays during the promotion earning period. The promotion earning period is for stays between September 26, 2018 and January 31, 2019, at participating Marriott Rewards, SPG and Ritz-Carlton properties. A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity. Rooms booked through most third party online retailers and select travel agency bookings are ineligible to earn for this promotion. The member receiving this offer has been targeted and the offer is not transferable. Bonus points will be awarded to the member’s account up to six weeks after the promotion ends. Marriott Vacation Club® owner-occupied weeks are not eligible for bonus points and nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for bonus points. Only one room per hotel is counted toward a member’s nights or stay. Members electing to earn miles are not eligible for this promotion. For a list of current participating brands, visit https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/earn/hotels.mi. All Loyalty Program terms and conditions apply. See https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/terms/default.mi for more information. Visit www.Marriott.com/MorePlaces or call 888-MARRIOTT (888-627-7468) for complete details.

Clarification from Starwood Lurker in post 125:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Everyone gets one entry per day for a total of 29 entries (assuming they extend the promo).

50 points here as well. The part I'm not seeing anyone comment on, forgive me if redundant, is the sweetening of the MegaBonus.

It looks like you can now earn an additional 10K if you stay at 10 brands and then there was another larger bonus for staying at all 29 brands (sorry I though this would already be documented so I forgot...plus how many people will really hit all 29).

That's the thread for the Q4 MegaLetdown which is different from the 29 Ways sweepstakes.

Which as others have noticed, is live! Wow...

I ran through all of our employees' accounts and every one of them got 50 points. NONE of them have seen the 50 points post yet. For some reason I have a feeling seeing these points not posting will become fodder for another thread.

BTW, they've updated the T&C to show 8 Nov as the last day of the sweepstakes.

So, I tried to play. Doesn't work in IE. Switch to Firefox - all I do is click on the "cards" but don't see anything.

Anyway, clicked enough times and answered questions to "win":

Yeah, but what's with the "*"? Scroll down to:
Verification of what?

Has anyone answered one of the questions with the correct answer but received the message "INCORRECT: The correct answer is (what I answered)"?

But does entry enable one to earn points through the quiz mode? Or is it just another entry for the grand prize drawing.

Also, does anybody else think it's lame that the Grand Prize winner will only get the $7,000 cash if they live in the US? What about other nations' residents who are eligible to play? Why shortchange foreigners?

Marriott's new motto could be "Even when the customer is always right, they are wrong."

500 for me and 50 for my wife. I’m terrible at both the matching game and Marriott trivia.... glad it doesn’t seem to affect the points awarded!

Matched OK, got the answers wrong. 50 pts. Eh, considering I just found out about this today, a week after it had started so I actually didn't miss anything, I can't really complain.

29 Ways Sweepstakes

LMFAO!!! Well, I guess before I rant maybe it is just me? A hell of a time trying to sign in to this........finally worked in some cluster $# way - couldn't choose any cards....Closed down the screen and can't for the life of me sign back in. Keeps saying ERROR!

Maybe somebody else is having luck or figured this out? OMG.........I'm not computer wiz by any means - not even close but I have never seen the likes!

I just tried again and I finally got to the card game......Day 1 is W Hotels.....it says pick matching cards and nothing happens when I click on a card? Maybe I don't know how to play?

I changed browsers and that seemed to work! Woo Hoo ..........won 50 points ....technically 16.66 points.
