It’s not a bad bonus, I don’t like this continual use of after the first stay trigger. I understand it eliminates much of very infrequent that just happen have a night during the promo. That group wouldn’t have their bookings altered by the promos bonus anyway.
Im just happy I don’t have a week long stay at a beach or ski resort as the first stay during the bonus.

Ie, it's a minimum of 1 night as always (unless it says otherwise), but you can't "trick" it by doing a separate 1 night stay reservation followed immediately (starting the next night) with a separate stay reservation and expect to earn double points on the latter. You either have to change hotels or wait 1 night between the two reservations, to have the second one count as your "second stay".

will be necessary to re-book the actual reservations or will the system get automatically all the stays from March 19 – June 4, 2019 even if already booked before to register on this promo ?

I did do some stays during Mega though that were basically mattress runs at $37 a night (Fairfield/Springhill cold dead tourist area) . The Mega bonus/points/gift/green/brand reduced my calculated cost down to about $17 on two seperate 2/4 night stays. Turned out I didn't need those 6 nights, but it points out that a double bonus is better for people who are actually spending some money. Makes more sense for Marriott.
I love the "like" button here, but I sure wish there was a "LOL" button to click for all the silly comments.

As always (and as in all hotel programs), it's to define a stay as any number (1+) of consecutive nights at the same hotel, no matter how many times you check in or check out.
Ie, it's a minimum of 1 night as always (unless it says otherwise), but you can't "trick" it by doing a separate 1 night stay reservation followed immediately (starting the next night) with a separate stay reservation and expect to earn double points on the latter. You either have to change hotels or wait 1 night between the two reservations, to have the second one count as your "second stay".

Thanks for the speculative answer, but that wasn’t the question. Some MR promos have required a minimum of 2 nights for stay eligibility. That’s what I was asking. In my case I have an upcoming resort stay in late march, that I am expecting to net me some 150k points. This would be my first stay in the promo period. So, while I’m waiting for the postman to arrive, I would like to know whether I have to book a 1 or 2 nights stay prior to that resort stay, so that I can make that my second stay in the promo period.
