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 ClubŪ 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 ?
A : Yes, this would count as the first stay as long as the one night falls within the promotion period.

Q : Does an award stay count as the first stay ?
A : No, full award stays do not count towards this offer as a first stay.

Q : Does a stay that straddles the start / end date of the promotion period count ?
A : If you check-in before March 19 but check-out after, that stay will count as a Double Take stay. Likewise, if you check-in before June 4, that stay will count as a Double Take stay, even if you check out after.

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?
A: Yes, if the Stay meets the qualifications for both promotions, the member will get quadruple points.

By the way, what a way to welcome all your new global members to the first promotion of the Bonvoy era by, yet again, giving favourable terms to US-based members only ….

So the consensus here is that the first stay, the one that triggers the bonus points, may be a one-night stay?

Yes. MR just wants to prevent people from separating the first night of a longer stay at one property in order to trigger the promotion. What MR wants you to do is find a dirt cheap MR hotel and book a night there to trigger the promo.

I did not see anyone mentioning this, but there's a piggyback promotion for US-Bonvoy credit card holders:

  • Earn Even More. Marriott Bonvoy U.S. Card Members earn an exclusive bonus of 500 additional points for weekend stays** — starting with the first stay.
**A "weekend stay" is defined as a stay that includes a Friday or Saturday night regardless of where the hotel is located.

Yup - go the same error message. However, if you log out and log back in, you'll see that you are registered.

Deliberate so it's harder to tie them down if you want to sue them.

Sue them? It is their program and they can do what they want with it, even close it down at any time. I don't understand why making the terms and conditions clear would make any difference.

But not a one night rewards stay (probably).

Yes it is their program but they can't do what they want with customers, as they are now finding out with the data breach.

Here's another sentence to ponder from the promotion T&Cs: "ExecuStay, Marriott Executive Apartments and Marriott Vacation ClubŪ owner-occupied weeks are not eligible for bonus points and nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for bonus points."

This would seem to suggest that Award nights do not qualify for bonus points, however, could qualify as one's first stay (as the definition of "stays" does not exclude award stays). Anyone else have a different take?

Historically with Marriott, they've used this same language for promotions. In the past, awards stays (and ExecuStay/Executive Apartments/Timeshare) don't count toward any stays in a promo, regardless of whether it's a stay to qualify for bonus points, or whether it's the 1st "promo activation" stay. I don't have any reason to believe that this promo will be different.

Thanks, I was seeing the error message when I clicked on "see details" for both the Double Take promotion, and my targeted offer promotion. But logging out and back in again, it looks like I'm registered for both and don't see the error messages anymore.

I agree with you it reads that way, but I am guessing it is not going to work that way. Maybe one of the lurkers could clarify.

I thought it was fairly well established by now, that Marriott specifically traditionally excludes award stays from any sort of promotional qualification?
