Two stays posted and got this showing up in the promo tab - Earn double Elite Night Credits on your eligible nights....

It's funny considering I'm a lifetime plat - got another work week of travel - time to check out someone else?

Can you post the full details of the promo? Is it for your next 2 nights, or until the end of the promo (Jan 14)? I'll start a list in the wiki. Thx

Christina, thanks as always for the presence here, but please forward the feedback to your corporate overlords that this promo is the worst combination of underwhelming and complex, and that this asinine 2-3 day delay between rounds is just a tangible reminder of how inefficient Marriott's systems are compared to the competition.

Earn double Elite Night Credits on your eligible nights.

  • Register today.
  • Stay at any of our 6,700 participating hotels and resorts worldwide now through 01/31/2020.


I'm now wondering if this is another targeted promo.... unrelated to the 2019 Q4 promo.

Probably, since Q4 promo ends on Jan 14.

Hello Christina,

Well, its been 3 days since check out and posting for my 2nd stay and surprise surprise, nothing from Marriott on the next phase of this super secret promo. I can't even begin to tell you how lame this is. I get that you want to do targeted offers. Fine. But why the delay?? How can it possibly take 2-3 days to figure out what my offer is? Are you using abacuses and chiseling the offer for me? Surely its pretty simple - member looks like X, make them offer Y. Even if it is more complex, it still has to just be math.

I've got tons of travel to book and I'm not waiting around - Hyatt is offering double points. Pretty easy decision in my mind.

There could be something to this "a promo so bad it's not even really a promo, on purpose" idea...

Christina doesn't make up the offers, but she will help facilitate your next phase if three days have passed.

also been 3 days for me.... still no second offer. Of course I just checked into another property. Likely wont get credit for this night in terms of crediting to whatever offer was supposed to be unlocked. Less than impressed with this promo
