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.

If it takes 6-8 weeks to post a whopping 50 points from the sweepstakes promo, I would tend to agree with you (even though probably a tiny percentage of that larger total will actually earn the 10K bonus)

Definitely won’t post until the end of the promo on the (unlikely) chance that someone hits all 29 brands. If that happens you will get 29K pts, not 10K + 29K pts.

... instead of someting reasonable, say 290,000 points, when you consider the work required to hunt down and stay in 29(!) different properties in a little over 3 months.

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.

Glad I read this thread, I was beginning to wonder what I was doing wrong as after the excitement of my massive windfall of 50 points the first day I kept going back but getting nothing was didn't understand why. Kind of amazing they only provide the instant win on the first try...pretty weak game IMO.

I played today and was interested in two of the properties featured. Of course, after matching that last one, the question box popped up and then no way to go back to the cards. Oh well, another missed opportunity by Marriott...

Anyone else having trouble with today's entry? As soon as I completed the third match and view the factoid, then click Continue, it takes me to a page claiming I've already played today.
And yet if I click on "Check out the brands you've matched and the brands yet to be discovered" today's brand doesn't appear as checked:
I can go back to the previous page and play the game again with the same "already played "result (I guess at least it's accurate the second time also the pieces stay in the same place which makes it easier ) also tried logging in anew on a fresh window in incognito mode.

I played and everything worked today, but bizarrely immediately afterwards I got an email noting that I won 50 points on the first day last week (the first one I'd gotten).
