Had an offer waiting for me this morning: 22,500 for two paid stays by March 31, 2021.
To be honest I'm very surprised that I even got the "easy" one considering how many nights I have this year and that I hit Ambassador this year. I'll have this promo wrapped up by Jan 5 only because I'm actually not going to stay in a Marriott between XMas and New Years. Otherwise I'd have this done in a week.

I am Titanium with 98 nights but have 5 more stays before year end. Any offer is better than none. I will take it.

I don't anticipate four paid stays within the promotional period. But if I do plan even one, yes, of course I will sign up.

I’ve been staying at a lot of non-Marriott B&Bs in Scotland so I’m missing out on some valuable EQNs but I’m not missing out on the excellent personable service that’s in sheer abundance of friendliness by these Islanders up north.
I probably could do Hyatt but their footprint is rather limited in Scotland.

Nothing, nada, nic, niente, nichts, nicim, nič, ezer.
Can you guess what language the last one is? Hint: non Indo-European.

My two-night offer said I had to register within 21 days of receiving the offer email. That email came on Dec 8, so there was no way to delay registration until January.

I have never been targeted by any of the Marriott promos. I am so fed up with their steaming pile crap.

In both of ours, the fine print says you get the remainder of the month in which you register plus three months. It also says it goes through March 31st. So, it looks like it doesn't matter if you register right away, you still get the max (through 3/31).

That is interesting I have an offer but have not received an email yet. So far I haven't seen a register by date so I am hoping to register in Feb so that my promo would end May 31.

No promotion for me. 
I suppose I have been staying at Marriott too much.

These promos have nothing to do with how many past or future stays you have in your account. I'd like to believe that Marriott has some kind of algorithm to decide who to target, but no one on FT has ever figured it out.
