Week of Wonders Promo (EMEA ?)
couldn't find a thread so assuming this just launched ? I am trying to find the T&Cs, in particular for the 33% off redemption, no luck. When trying to book it only shows the regular redemption rates.

The 33% offer, I think, refers to the fact that almost all hotels in certain countries have been marked as off peak during a specified period. There is no additional discount beyond this.

This is a weak promotion if Marriott is already using their existing promotion to supplement this. When I checked the offer link to register, it took me to the current promotion so this isn't a new offer.

Is this being extended? Details?
So far, no email for me.

Also the expiry date is still October 18th so it's only useful for the next ten days.

But the question is if Marriott is actually moving hotels into the 'off-peak' award category as part of this "promotion". I've checked a few places where I have some travel plans and so far, I'm not seeing anything different than I've been seeing the last few months (i.e. where there was standard award pricing, its still there, where there was point-saver awards, its still there, etc.) So I haven't been able to see where award pricing has just been reduced anywhere. (But of course that doesn't mean it hasn't been modified anywhere, just the places/dates I checked.)
So far as I can tell, and I've love to be wrong, this whole "promotion" seems to be total Marketing fluff. Nothing is changing except that Marriott is trying to "market" their offerings to make it look like they have this great new limited time promotion going on.
