Requiring a 2 night stay to earn 2000 bonus points (the previous Megabonus) is not the same thing as requiring a minimum of 2 nights for stay eligibility.The Megabonus which required 2 nights stay to earn 2000 bonus points did not redefine the term "stay", Furthermore, the other part of that promo (the unique brand bonus) did not have any such 2-night requirement. So a "stay" in that promo only required 1 night, but only those stays that were 2+ nights earned the 2000 point part of the promo.
Under what conditions you earn, and what the definition of a stay is, those are two totally different things from a legal T&Cs perspective, even though you may want to mix them up to "simplify" your own view of a particular promo.

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.

Damn! You’re pretty good with definitions. You should write a dictionary.

Maybe a reference to the Marriott marketing muppet who's been sending out "register now" snail-mailings long before registration for the promo actually begins …. ? 
Seems rather odd, in this day and age, to be sending out printed promo materials. Just out of curiosity, those who did get the snail-mailing, what are your marketing preferences set at ?
As word the promo is now 'official', I've updated the thread title and it'll become the promo master thread.

Is there a reason Marriott is so bad at this? This seems like a pretty good promotion that people are excited about and could influence bookings towards Marriott. Why kind of let the cat out of the bag but not really tell us about it until March 5? Why not promote this to get people that are booking now to book with Marriott? And since when is March 19-June 5 Q1?

Any suggestions for better promo indexing are welcomed.
Perhaps we should take inspiration from ancient religious history and have this promo as “1 AB” (Anno Bonvoy).
