In my 3rd stay so far, it's been 2 business days since the 2nd stay. Started on 50, now on 60. 5 days for the 1st and 2nd stay have posted with bonus. However the 2nd stay has not appeared on the points balance but too early to say. So far, no problems! Note: all cash reservations.

1. One replied straight out " Only paid nights ( revenue) count toward the promotion. Redemption nights would not be eligible. This is listed under the terms and conditions of the Global Promotion.
2. The other replied " As this stay is prior to your enrollment date, no bonus points or nights can be earned for this promotion. I registered in early February , received an e-mail confirmation registration from Marriott Convoy. My stay was in March. Have shared the registration e-mail with them.

Let us know how this plays out. The first response is blatantly wrong...
I also just had a 5 + 1 and the 1 posted at 2x and the 5 posted at 1x. Hopefully it is corrected automatically in the next few days without intervention as some have reported.

Had the promotion been paid stays only, this thread would have been smiles, high-fives, and happy customers.
Instead, it's whining customers, overwhelmed IT, and struggling customer service teams. All leading to frustrated customers tarnishing the Marriott brand.
@marriottBonvoyLurker, if you keep your promotions simple, your customers will be happier, and your internal teams will have higher morale!

One of my stays did and I do recall at least 1 or even 2 other members having C&P stays having double nights post automatically.
Here's one other DP. Can find some more if necessary.

that is a good guess. you might be right. some have tried charging food to their room daily to trigger. the problem is that the DPs are scattered and we cant tell if its an IT glitch (spend/resort fees dont matter) or the food charge worked.
