Just completed phases 1 (2000 points/2 stays) and 2 (12,000 points, 5 stays). Last stay was a 1/13 checkout and posted today along with the bonus points.
Note to any Marriott lurkers here: the promo did not incentivize me in any way to travel more (too weak!) I just picked up the bonus for travel plans already made.

I would call the Hilton promotion generous only in comparison to Marriott's recent offerings. I'm really hoping Bonvoy steps it up this quarter, as I have a pretty busy travel schedule now through March.

My promotion is already completed as well and the measly 17,000 points I earned didn't move the needle for me at all. I was going to stay at the properties I stayed at with or without this promo. Maybe to show Marriott how much I think their promos suck I should book away and start earning status in another program.
About to wrap up the stay 3 weekend nights promo for 18K points as well.

Confirming that a stay commencing before the end date of the promotion, but ending after it, did count: my stay Jan 13-16 did qualify and post correctly ( although for the 2,000 points...the stingiest return in living memory...I’m not dancing on tables/cracking the champagne in celebration)

Hilton and ihg are way more rewarding. I only had point redemption stays during the promo period with Marriott. All my paid stays went to IHG and Hilton. I keep burning my points.

I had a total of 12k promo bonus points from three stays (8 nights), so I can't complain too much.

Well, in that regard it’s noted there’s no thread seeking speculation about the next promo. Maybe members are feeling underwhelmed by the prospect....

I don’t understand why with Marriott there are always weeks between promotions...does anyone know when a next promo is likely to start? Time for the speculation thread?!

I speculate that we will be waiting a couple more weeks for an announcement that will disappoint most of us.
