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.

No. See the Ts&Cs as well as the wiki:

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.

The 2K bonus has already posted with each stay. Lumped in under EXTRA so you need to figure it out yourself.

my extra line on the stays over 2 nights just shows the 250 amenity. Guess I better call.
was the 2k bonus supposed to hit on every 2 night plus stay or only the second and onward?

Should have posted on the first stay. It’s only the brand bonus that starts on second brand.

This promotion is a total mess! Think I'm missing the 10,000 bonus points for doing more than 10 brands, and the individual brand bonuses, but the 2-night bonuses were added at the date of transaction. Looks like others are in the same position, if I have understood correctly?

I can't face calling Marriott as the service center is so incompetent...

I don't know how many times this has to be said.

Everyone (not just you) complaining about not receiving the brand bonus needs to calm down and read the T&C of the promotion. The T&C states that bonus points will be awarded within six weeks of the end of the promotion. The promotion ended six days ago so Marriott has until March 14, 2019, to award the brand bonus points and still be within the T&C of the promotion.

Tell Marriott! The promotion page says: "THIS PROMOTION HAS ENDED. ENJOY WHAT YOU EARNED. EARNED: 18,000 REWARDS POINTS" You reckon they're aware of the mistake and just teasing us?

You may have earned 18,000 points but that doesn't mean they've been placed in your account.

The T&C is at the top of this thread in the Wiki.

As far as teasing? Nope, just really really sloppy on Marriott!
