As of yesterday morning, I wasn’t seeing anything so I called. The agent registered me for the promotion in less than a minute and by late last night it was showing on the website.

The app page is known to be problematic. The targeted promos don't show up in it either.

Agreed... I called in to register as suggested above and found out that I was eligible for a targeted promotion. I was told it was because I'm opted out of all promotion correspondence... which I'm not according to the website. I'm feeling slightly better as I need to keep my eyes open on FT to see when I have another promotion.

The agent said she was getting "a lot" of phone calls about this.

My private correspondence with a lurker verified that a one night stay at a unique hotel qualifies for the first night.

Its 5 not 15 !
Check the link for more info ..

In this case we are talking about the people holding and paying annual fees, your not paying anything !!
If you pay $400 every year you want to be treated the same.

Talk to a big bank in your country let other people talk about Marriott credit card they well do it..
use Amex you can transfer there points to Bonvoy check Amex in your country!

Im member since 2006 just got the card last year.

Just the app page? I think Marriott has shown all of its IT to be problematic.

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 youll earn on a stay.

Thank you for these answers. I don't really have many complaints with Marriott, Bonvoy, Points.. etc.. But the Manager responsible for information that gets disseminated with promotions is really lacking in brain power. A link to FAQs or just a few more details in the terms would prevent hundreds(thousands?) of calls, misinformation, lost time, more money in Marriott's pocket. I just can't understand, when relatively simple fixes could be put in place, the same questions happen over and over again. Why is this information NOT included with the promotion/terms????

The fact that someone asked if a one-night stay counted as the first stay makes me question whether the second stay onwards needs to be more than one night? Also, the Terms and Conditions refer to "consecutive nights, which also isnt clear whether you need to stay 1 or 2 nights from the second stay onwards for the double points?

use Amex you can transfer there points to Bonvoy check Amex in your country!

I thought some cards gave 15 nights? An agent on the phone told me this while trying to encourage me to get one, without realising we cant apply in my country! The points transfer rate through Amex is terrible! Yes you pay an annual fee but thats what most people with credit cards do (some get them waived) but thats not for these extra things. You already have the ability to earn Marriott points at a good rate and qualify for Platinum much more easily. I bet those with credit cards from non-US locations arent happy as theyre not getting the 500 points so it wouldnt have benefitted me even if I had one. The programme is too US-centric - even the promo page is mostly US promotions with very few international ones.

Sorry. I just answered the question as it was posed. As far as I can tell from reading the terms and conditions of the offer, there is no minimum length of stay requirement.

Thanks. Youd probably agree that the terms could be clearer though!
