Got double nights promotion at the end of my trip coincidence or microtargeting?
I received the double qualifying nights promotion invitation on April 1. It applies to all nights between the day after I register and June 30. But the thing is: on April 2 I completed 15 continuous nights at various Marriott properties that brought my 2019 total to 44 nights. I have eight more nights scheduled during the promotion period, so the promotion will put me at 60 rather than 52. But if Id gotten the invitation a couple of weeks earlier as I gather many people did I would be at 59 now and at 75 by June 30. It doesnt matter that much to me, because I will surely hit 75 by the end of the year. But I cant help wondering if their algorithm postponed my invitation until my scheduled stays were just about over. It would make sense, since presumably the point of the promotion is to get people to stay more, not to reward behavior that would have happened even without the promotion. But if their system is sophisticated enough to get this right, I cant help wishing they would put the same people to work on trying to correct the erroneous numbers of lifetime nights and years on my account.

IIRC they randomly selecting some members for this double night promotion at start of the month.
The first wave was February, and I'm not sure if there was similar promotion during March.
Your 15 nights stays will only be eligible if you got the promotion (and register) in March I believe.

Interesting, I got the following targeted promo which isn't in the wiki:
Even more interestingly, the promo appears to be retroactive - One day after I received the e-mail and registered for the promo, I received 9000 points since I'd already completed two stays since March 1st! Very pleasant surprise.
- Register between 1 March and 18 June 2019.
- Stay at any of our more than 6,700 hotels worldwide between 1 March and 18 June 2019.
- Earn bonus points for stays: 6,000 for your first stay, 3,000 for your second stay and 6,000 for your third stay.

Just got my very first and most underwhelming targeted promotion of the year....
Make 2 stay for 4,500 points from now until Aug 31. This is the least generous promotion ever

'Double' = 102.5%?
I have a targeted promotion that offers 'double' points for some stays. An eligible stay just posted. The extra points amount to 102.5% of the base points. (There is a separate elite bonus included, and that is correct.)
Am I missing something, or is this just comically bad IT? Not complaining about the few hundred extra points, of course.
