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.

There were two brand offers, right? 10K for 10 (or 29 for 29), as well as 1K each (minus the first).
I've had nothing yet, expecting 10K for 10, and 9K for all-but-first stay.

So Marriott is pissing me off:
I stayed in 14 brands. Since you get the 1K per brand starting with the 2nd brand, that equals 13K points.
Then the 10K bonus for 10 brands, I should be getting 23K points!
I called Bonvoy and after 20min of wasting my time, they setup a claim to investigate why I only received 3k points today

I don't really understand all these posts. When I stayed in any of the different brands during the promotion, I got the 1000 point brand bonus added on to every stay as the points for that stay posted shortly after the stay. Are you all say that didn't happen for yourselves? Did you check your points for each stay? Could that 1000 points be included but you didn't notice it? What are you noticing now that you can say "i got xxxx points"? A separate line entry is posting to your points activity pages? What is that line labeled? Just trying to understand. Maybe I'll get 19,000 points too like tirajat just did...

Good grief I'm getting old. Have been thinking I was getting those points each time, but sure enough I just looked and the totals are for the most part 1000 short on each of the brand stays. Brain damage! Thank you!

I got nothing so far. Looks like will need to escalate. So tired of this.

In my case, I noticed a change in my balance (remember, spreadsheet is the only way to survive Marriott idiocy). So I scrolled down, and the 18th line item (dated Feb 28) but scrunched in between Jan 27 and Feb 3, is where I found my 2000 bonus points!

I just checked my Megabonus points and see that I only received 3,000 points, for apparently 4 brands? I stayed at about 10 brands, so that's completely wrong again. This is such a waste of my time.

This is not helpful. The Lurker team here is invaluable in their assistance. In this case (as in all cases), the team does not make things up. Someone dropped the ball here; it was not the Lurkers.

I also got 19K points as expected. I think pretty much all of my stays were at least 2 nights, but would be very frustrated along with the others on here if I'd not gotten brand credit for 1-night stays since it seemed pretty clear those were meant to count.
