Honestly, 1k extra points per stay if you stay twice? Then we will tell us they might have another terrible promo? And that is supposed to entice me to book stays at Marriott? Really? Are they serious?
Already booked thousands of dollars away from them and I don't see that change the slightest bit.

If they would tell us what the next step is, I might bite ... say double points for any further stays? I have a super high cost stay in January .... 4 nights @ $4k and would bite if I knew the 'beyond 2 stays' promo is decent.
Right now, Marriott has insulted me ... that is not a good thing to drive business.

Marriott wants to lead you down the garden path and follow the cookie crumbs until you reach an empty cookie jar. It could have been so different if they had revealed that the cookie jar was actually full of different cookies (the different bonuses) that we could get our hands on. I wonder where they get their marketing people from...

After last global promo 1500 points every 2 nights stay, I think they could give something more than 2000 points for 2 stays ... it is really poor and it starts only by the end of this month.

This year I had an average of 11 nights x month with Marriott, until the end of August ...that has become an average of 2 nights x month on September and August (20 nights spent in the 2 last months with Accor and IHG instead Marriott)

really confused about what is better to do on the last 2 months of this year....

I went to register only to be informed that I am not eligible for this promotion. I won't lose any sleep over this as it's a rather lame promotion, but do find it odd to be excluded from a Global promotion.

The biggest issue is I cannot mine this promotion in this account. I thought this is not targeting. After more than a year, Marriott still cannot get it right?

I got a stay on 4 Nov

Hey, it is better than the last promo, where I earned a whopping 1500 points on 17 nights. But still pretty lame. Guessing the “unlocked” bonuses will be underwhelming or they would have told us what they were to drive interest.

Not that the elimination of SPG reduced the number of options for travelers.

McMarriott seems quite pleased with its new behemoth.

Lurkers, can you confirm if there will be a DEAD PERIOD after meeting the first offer until Marriott IT catches up and registers you for the follow up promo?

Bummer, I have three stays between now and Oct 29. But at least I have 2 and maybe 3 stays between 29th and 1 Dec. If I can get one more work paid stay, I'll do a mattress run to get Platinum (would need 1 more night)
