Note that some targeted promos have a variable expiration date depending when the member activates the promo, which under certain circumstances could allow you to choose the timeframe for the promo that is most advantageous for your planned travel. Read the T&Cs about expiration timeline carefully before activating any targeted promo.

Current Ambassador, this year I have 60 nights so far. I was targeted last time, but no offer this time (at least so far). Still hoping for an offer to arrive later in the week.

Targeted promo
Got 22.5 k bonus points after two stays today. 7500 for my first than 15k for my second stay. Not the greatest as they already see many stays booked. Free award nights would have been nice.

Still no sign of one for me. Not had one all this time since the merger. I just requalified as Titanium with 75 nights at the end of September and (unusually for me) no reservations at all between now and the end of the year. I should be ripe to influence with a targeted bonus to get a few more reservations out of me in the current qualifying year now I've reached my goal. Leads me to suspect that these things are random and not directed by an analysis of booking patterns or an intelligent attempt to influence behavior. Ha, if I got one it would probably be an utterly useless double night promo.

No promotions for this Lifetime Titanium with 80 nights this year, 15 more booked for 2019, and about $30,000 in spend.
I’ve had zero targeted promotions this year. I’m going to start booking stays without my Bonvoy number attached, then add it a few days before arrival. I’ll see if that helps trigger some more promos since Marriott will think I’ve got no upcoming stays booked.

I've been holding off on making bookings, hoping for a quarterly promo. Giving up on that dream.
Now I've got hopes of getting a targeted promo. Can anyone who's been recently targeted confirm that existing bookings qualify for your offer?
Thanks.

One time I saw that people were getting targeted promotions and I did not. So, I called the Plat line (this was before the merger), and they registered me for it.
I have not received a promotion this time, and haven't called them either.
By the way, I'm Lifetime Gold, currently Titanium, and have been either Plat or Titanium for five years now.
So, unless they're going after people who don't stay that much, I think it's totally random. Hey, why bother rewarding your best customers...

The theory is you are already "locked in", thats the whole point of these targeted loyalty offerings that have been pushed by the consulting companies. From our side we can't distinguish why people are targeted or not but there is some algorithm which decides triggered by things like nights and avg room rate in some market for example combined with say a decrease in wallet share for example. This is 2019, they have data...
