Does Marriott usually have a promotion in January?

You're right. It was. I've now corrected it. I thought you meant the month as the following person said his or her promo ends Feb and my husband's ends March. My mistake.

Interesting. My offer is also 22.5K possible points, but I only need 2 stays to get it, not 3.

FWIW, the promos shown above are targeted and not a general "MegaBonus":

This Titanium with $3.8K spend and 100 EQNs was targeted. Not as juicy as some offers, 1.5K, 3.0K & 4.5K points after 1, 2 & 3 stays for a toal of 9.0K, but still something. Relative to earnings on historically low rates, they are still decent. I have already completed 2 stays and will have my third on Tuesday. This is a bonus on stays I had already booked so I am not complaining. I am still getting great value out of Bonvoy, albeit most of my stays are outside the US where customer service is a concept (some excell, others languish) rather than a culture.

I’m glad you’re enjoying your stays, though. It sounds like the trick is to avoid any Marriott in the US...

I prefer 3x/4x on all stays at Hyatt.
I suspect it's much more random than that.

This titanium with 163 EQN has received zero targeted promotion in 2020.
I just switched my address from China to the US. Let's see if that makes any difference.
