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.

What's been everyone's experience with posting times for points from this promotion? Do all promo points post at the same time? Do any post concurrently with your stays?
I'm asking because I have a recent Westin stay that lists 3000 "extra" points in the activity breakdown. The problem there is that it should be 1000 Platinum gift + 2000 two-night promo + 1000 different brand promo = 4000. I'm trying to figure out which of these categories of points is missing.
For what it's worth, I have not gotten the 1000 different brand promo points for any other stay so far (I've had multiple eligible). This was my first 2-night stay during the promo period so I don't have any experience for that.

As for the different brand promos, none of them have posted yet. Nor has the 50 points I won for 29 ways.

Agreed - I very seriously doubt that this particular component is restricted to the 29 game days. I would wager a fair amount that it will be a sweep for the entire promo period, just as the 1000 per brand promotion will be.

- it is a one time bonus of 10.000 points after hitting 10 brands (incl. the one of the first stay)
- the promo runs till Januar 31, 2019

I'm going to partially blame the convoluted nature of these multiple overlapping promos/games and partially on me:
So for the portion of the bonus that is the 1,000 points per brand (starting with the 2nd brand), does that have to be a PAID stay as well (it is clear that this is a requirement for the 2,000 point bonus on two night PAID stays)?
