I got double elite credits which seems weird because when I check out on Thursday I will already be at 22 nights this year. I already have another 20 nights booked so this will definitely speed up my re-qualification. By the 1st week of March with this promo I will be at 62 nights for the year

I didn't get an email but I got this on the Promotions page:

Earn up to 22,500 bonus points after only three eligible paid stays.
  • Register today.
  • Stay at any of our 6,700 participating hotels and resorts worldwide now through 05/31/2019.
  • Get 6,000 bonus points after one stay*, 7,500 additional points after your second stay and 9,000 more points after your third stay.
I think this is very generous. I'm LTP so I guess I am not too keen on double elite nights.

Current plat, no LT status. I got the double Elite Night Credits promo that goes 2 months until April 30.

Earn double Elite Night Credits on your eligible nights.

  • Register today.
  • Stay at any of our 6,700 participating hotels and resorts worldwide now through 04/30/2019.
  • Get double Elite Night Credits - that’s one Elite Night Credit plus one additional Elite Night Credit for all your eligible nights.
Even though I would've liked to get the May 31 promo, I'm quite happy with this, much better than the fall/winter 29 ways to stay bonus for my own patterns. Usually I end up with about 55-65 nights per year, so this might be enough to help me get up to the 75 level pretty easily. (I wonder if they can see that I have a lot of May travel booked already and thus didn't give me the longer promo).

Is this the de facto version of the spring megabonus? If so, might I also suggest a wiki to easily compile the different versions of the promotions people have gotten?

I'm a big noob. Does anyone know how I can add this to the OP and possibly update the title to be more general?

EDIT: I overcame being a big noob.

And since three weeks is before the end of February, the promo will basically only cover February plus the additional two/three months (depending on the version of the promo).

Seems pretty lackluster promo, even if not LT, and a bit funny that Marriott cut down on all of the excess Elite Nights (ending rollover, changing credit card) only to hand them out like candy.
For me this is definitely not lackluster because I will hit PPE by April now, when I previously would not have hit PPE at all even if I held a meeting.

For those of us receiving a lump of coal from Marriott, it would be nice to have someone post the registration URL.

I have twenty paid nights booked in May so I doubt it.

Mine is different. Earn two free night nights up to 35K points after two stays. I prefer double elite night credit.

Maximum bonus 9,000'
Just to add, on the email the T&C's say "*Registration must occur within three weeks of receiving this email. A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity. Remember to book direct to earn.'

There is no mention how you fund the stays. But, when I go on Marriott Website under Promotions it says: 'Earn up to 9,000 bonus points after only three eligible paid stays.'

You need to check the email against the Promotions page for clarification.

Current PPE and lifetime Platinum, I received the double nights promotion until 4/30.

Would have probably preferred points, since I'm not convinced I'm going to break 50 nights this year (and I'm lifetime plat now anyway), but either way an interesting promotion. Wonder if it's to try and deflect attention a little bit from the imminent devaluation and introduction of peak points pricing.

Perhaps they lost a lot of top tier elites after the merger?

Do these nights count for status for next year, ie in qualifying for 2020 status ? Term below has me confused.

"Elite Night Credits will count only toward the status year in which they are posted"
