T&C:

Registration of your Marriott Bonvoy account is required. Marriott Bonvoy™ members who register for this promotion by May 21, 2019 will earn double points per stay, starting with their second stay during the promotion earning period. The double points earning is only applicable to members’ base points earned per stay. The promotion earning period is for stays between March 19, 2019 and June 4, 2019, at participating Marriott Bonvoy™ properties. A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity. Rooms booked through most third party online retailers and select travel agency bookings are ineligible to earn for this promotion. The member receiving this offer has been targeted and the offer is not transferable. ExecuStay, Marriott Executive Apartments and Marriott Vacation Club® owner-occupied weeks are not eligible for bonus points and nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for bonus points. Only one room per hotel is counted toward a member’s nights or stay. Members electing to earn miles are not eligible for this promotion. For a list of current participating brands, visit www.marriott.com/loyalty/earn/hotels.mi. All Marriott Bonvoy™ terms and conditions apply.

A ‘weekend stay’ is defined as a stay that includes a Friday or Saturday night regardless of where the hotel is located. The 500 bonus points per weekend stay is in addition to any double bonus points earned. Marriott Bonvoy member’s card account must be open as of May 21, 2019 in order to qualify for the Card Member bonus.

FAQs

Q : Does a 1-night stay count as the first stay ?

Q : Which points are doubled ?
A : Double points are only applicable to the base points you’ll earn on a stay.

Q: If a member is enrolled in both Double Take and "Exclusively For You: Double Points" promotion, will they earn for both promotions?

Does starting on second stay mean 1st stay has to be a paid stay or does an award stay qualify as stay 1? I couldn't figure out from T&C.

Tried to register today at this promo (I have found it on my central promotion)

not sure it works.

This is the message ...





and i can’t actually see this promotion on App

then, I see also that double points are given for “stay” *

and “stay” is defined as “consecutive nights”





maybe is not too sure about it ?

Double points, starting with the second stay, from March 19 through June 4, plus an additional 500 points per weekend stay (Friday or Saturday, worldwide), starting with the first, for "Marriott Bonvoy US Card Members," which I assume includes both the Visa and Amex cards.

As expected, double points applies only to base earnings.

Here's the direct registration link: https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/pro...promotion=DU19

Note: When I actually clicked it, it said that I couldn't be registered, and then seemingly registered me anyway. Yay, Marriott IT! You may want to wait a few hours to click the button yourself.
Same happened to me, said I couldn't be registered, then registered me anyway! I wish they sent out emails confirming that you're actually registered, kinda makes me nervous!

Side note, if I'm registered for both the targeted double points promo and double take promo, am I getting double points twice? Sounds too good to be true...

Just for completeness, is anyone able to post an excerpt from the T&Cs which confirms this has to be a paid stay ?

Sorry no. Response was based on 15+ years of history with Starwood and Marriott. They will say only “eligible” stays will count. Award nights aren’t eligible stays.

Yes, let's send out a promotion. Oops. You can't register til March 5.

Oops. Sorry it still doesn't work.
Oops. You don't actually get breakfast at this hotel.
Oops. You can't access the lounge at these hotels.
Oops. You have to read 30 pages of terms and conditions to decipher what we're talking about.
Oops. We have absolutely no customer experience capability whatsoever.
Oops. We forgot this was a 'loyalty' program.

BonFire: Oops.

Good grief... I’m getting so frustrated by all this.

-I have no extra promotions even though I’m a cc holder and stayed 51 nights and spent >$10k last year
-I can’t register for this promotion
-I can’t decipher the language about a stay. Specifically, it discusses consecutive nights. Do I need 2+ nights to get double points? Specifically, I have a pricy vacation coming up in April... I need to get a cheap “stay” before then. Do I need a cheap hotel for one or two nights to get my first “stay” on the books?

*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 points.

A ‘weekend stay’ is defined as a stay that includes a Friday or Saturday night regardless of where the hotel is located. The 500 bonus points per weekend stay is in addition to any double bonus points earned. Marriott Bonvoy member’s card account must be open as of May 21, 2019 in order to qualify for the Card Member bonus. To be eligible to receive the Card Member bonus, Card Member must have an active Marriott Bonvoy member account linked to their credit card that was used to register for this promotion. Bonus points will be awarded to the member’s account up to six weeks after the promotion ends.

This promotional offer is not provided by Chase Bank USA, N.A. or American Express. Fulfillment of this offer and its respective terms, conditions and restrictions are the sole responsibility of Marriott International, Inc.

It doesn't clearly state that the first stay to "activate" the promotion can't be an award stay but IIRC it used to be the case with earlier promotions so I wouldn't count on award stays being eligible as the first stay to "activate" the promo.

I’m sure i’m wrong...but it’s difficult, for my low IQ, to understand “consecutive nightS” as something different than 2 nightS
