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.

This is a joke, at least I thought it was when I read the first post...then I kept reading and realized it's real! Sadly, I do mostly one night stays for work - I only have one 2 night stay booked so far during the promo period and am unlikely to have more. More jokeworthy given the low value of Marriott points, there's no way I'm jumping hotels or going to book a -for example Fairfield over a Marriott or Westin for only 1K points.
Given all of the issues we've had to live through with the integration, and for many of us still dealing with I expected a good "Welcome to the Combined Program and Thanks for Sticking With Us" but nope. Sigh. Definitely just doing my 51 nights this year.

But it sucks for them too, since they never stay 2 nights, they stay 4 or 5, which averages the nightly bonus down to just 4-500 points. And they often visit the same location repeatedly, which throws a wrench in the bonus for different brands. Or worse, a two month continuous stay that earns 0 from this bonus.

Well, I'm looking on the bright side - with no decent promo for cash bookings and cheaper redemption rates until the end of the year when they implement the new award pricing, now is the perfect time to burn all your points leaving you in a good position to ditch Marriott for another programme next year if you want to.

I really can't see me getting much benefit from this.
Like many others, my stays are typically for one night only & I won't be chasing 1,000 points just to stay in a Fairfield Inn!
Just noticed the "29 ways" competition - this could be interesting...
Although at this time the link to the competition details does not appear to be working...

Void in all countries/regions not listed. Begins 10:00 a.m. ET on 10/4/18; ends 11:59 p.m. ET on 11/1/18. Odds of winning a Grand Prize are dependent on number of eligible entries received.

What's this "completed profile" requirement? Some information is none of their business.
