So has anybody considered the economics of a cheap mattress for the first stay when you have upcoming higher rate stays?
Unfortunately the cheapest room nearby runs $88 per night after tax (and subtracting the value of points earned).
However I have an impending 5 night stay that would earn a 20k bonus, plus another 4k the week after. So at .006 per point, I would value the bonus at $144.
Would you do it?
+1 This always cheeses me as my stay length varies randomly - just finished a 5-night stay that earned zero bonus

Just a check before I add to the wiki : as I read the T&Cs - in order to get the 500 point US-only credit card weekend bonus, you just need to have a card, rather than use the card to pay for the stay. Correct ?

Edit: Ahhh.. I guess that means the "active Marriott Bonvoy member account".. "that was used to register".. ?? I'm not the best at grammar, but it seems like it's not written well.. Maybe some commas are needed?

Yes... I’m doing this. I have a 6 night stay at a higher-end hotel in the beginning of April. I’m taking a cheap sat night local stay to get the 500 bonus + the double points on my week-long stay.

I'm sure they can and have been avoiding this solution. I shouldn't have to waste my time on hold. Unfortunately, I have a few stays coming up where the property is non negotiable and cannot move them to Hilton.

Same for me. I asked if she could register me for the Double Take promo, she said sure, I said thanks, she said you're all set, and that was it. Think they've received a few calls about this? My first call took about 8 minutes once the CSR picked up, and she couldn't even sign me up.
