Targeted is not "totally randomly". In general it seems as those who are LESS loyal are getting the loyalty bonus.. I've read a large number of posts here and on a couple other boards and to me it seems like people who have generally stayed fewer nights or maybe less than in the past are getting these. Just my guess. Not at all sure what the real criteria is. Not random though.

Current and Lifetime Titanium Elite and received $50 e-card yesterday.
My stays count is wait down this year due to ongoing Marriott service issues, and this $50...while appreciated, is the least they could for all of my wasted time dealing with their screw-ups.
As a point of reference, Fairmont used to offer a $50 e-card to all Platinums without the fanfare.

I don't think these two are mutually exclusive. Targeted means it is not open to everyone. Random is a little harder to identify as no one has been able to figure out the algorithm that Marriott/Starwood has been using for the past few years to decide who gets the targeted offers. On the SPG forum, people tried to link targeted promos to status, points in account, past reservations, future reservations, wearing your lucky underwear, and none of it made sense, hence the word "random". The only thing I've noticed for this particular promo, is that none of the Ambassador Elites seem to have got it, but as mentioned earlier that might have to do with their own "Surprise and Delight" offers.

I dont have any planned point booking for the campaign duration. So I wont get those point refund.
(unless Marriott decide to refund the cash paid stays
but then if they somehow do that they are more than welcome to refund my stay at Raffles in few month time )The gift card however, seems like randomly sent to elites.
No information about when this campaign end however (31 July together with the ambassador point refund?)
