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.

I'm surprised people still click on links in e-mails.

I have the same issue. Invalid promotion error when I try to register for the 27K promotion. Just sent email to the lurkers to see if they can resolve it. Will advise on how it turns out. Could possibly sway my decision of where to stay over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Currently leaning towards paid IHG and MR reward stays.

I got the email too. Something tells me that Marriott will come back and say “Oops, we goofed. That wasn’t meant for you.” 18K and 27K point offers sent out in a mass mailing seems a tad generous.

I’ll wait and see what others and the Lurkers report back.

If you could provide your Marriott Bonvoy account number and the detail of the offer you received via private mail here or by email below, we will pass along your information to the appropriate team to look into.

Best Regards,

Christina Zhou
Specialist, Social Media
Marriott International
Actually, Christina, this could be a great opportunity for Marriott to sow some good will here, much as CX did by honoring the incredible error fare last New Year's. Why not something along the lines of, "That targeted email was not originally intended for you; but since we sent it to you, we will be happy to honor the offer."

Christina replied to my query promptly. Her response:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

There was an issue with the most recent Marriott Bonvoy Account Update email sent on November 16 that prevented members from registering for select personalized offers. We will be sending out an email to impacted members this week with additional offer details and a valid link for registration. Please be on the lookout for an email from us in the next few days.

If you do not receive an email by November 22, please let us know and we will help review your eligibility and resolve the issue. We apologize for this inconvenience.


So we should know the offer details and be able to register for it by Friday. From the response, definitely sounds like the offer was targeted. I have no idea on the inclusion criteria. I will post another update once I have the offer details.

Promo is live!

Found it in my app and registered there. Here’s mine:

• Register today.

• Stay at any of our 7,000 participating hotels and resorts worldwide now through 2020-02-29.

• Get 4,000 points after your first eligible stay* that includes a weekend night**, 6,000 points after your second eligible stay that includes a weekend night and 8,000 points after your third eligible stay that includes a weekend night.

Thanks OP for spotting this. I had to go pull the email from my trash (dated Nov 16).

I just checked the Promotion section on my app, and this promo is now showing also.
It is for 27,000 bonus points (9000 after 3 stays, total of 9 stays needed for the 27,000)

I got the same promotion. Much better than the unlock promotion for me which was an additional 4K after 2 more stays. Guess they can stack which is also nice.

Yawn ...
Get 9,000 bonus points after three stays*, 9,000 additional points after six stays and 9,000 more points after nine stays

3k per stay. Sure, I'll move the $5k 4 night stay right over to Marriott for that promo

Only the "stay twice, get 2k bonus points, then unlock more" offer for me, and nothing else
