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.

Nope. Not even for 2 night stays. I had 4 two night stays and 10 brands, and got 2000 bonus points. A friend also had 4 two night stays and 5 brands, and she got 3000 pts.
Mariott cannot get anything right!

This is so pathetic. I have stayed at 5 brands and was expecting 4k bonus points. This is "confirmed" by the MegaBonus result display in the app. So everything should be alright.
BUT MR today credits 1k points only?!?!?!? Seriously, what is going on at Marriott's IT?

Stayed at 7 brands, so believe I am due 6,000. Received 5,000. I'll give them a few days before I decide whether to pursue. Not sure it's worth the opportunity cost of my time for the small delta.
The crazy IT journey continues.

Stayed 3 brands, got 2000 points, missing 1000 points, which was for a 1-night stay (2nd stay and brand). Those that posted are both 2-night 3rd and 4th brands I suspect.
I will wait a while to see if the missing points post. This chasing is getting frustrating though.

I stayed at 11 Brands but only earned 6,000 bonus points instead of the 11,000 + 10,000. This is starting to get really frustrating if Marriott can’t do simple accounting that conforms to GAAP standards.

I as well received only 3000 points for 10 different brands.
Maybe, the bonus points post in batches? Would be possible, as I had 1 + 3 brands in the first 30 days of the promo. I will give them some more time for now ....

I have an idea. Why doesn't Marriott put in one of those dashboard thingies to track your progress in these promos (maybe hire back some of the Starwood IT people to show them how to do it)? Then they would be able to calculate how many points we are owed in one fell swoop instead of piecemeal like they did for the 29 Ways promo, and seemingly the Brands promo.

Well, there's a dashboard. At least in my app. I was able to locate it when I selected the "My Account - Offers" register. At the bottom of that page under "Mega Bonus Points Earned" I can see the correct brand bonus total. Just MR IT failed to credit the corresponding number of points to my account.
