What are the chances of this offer being repeated in 2023?

I’d say 50/50.

I have been targeted to earn double nights until end of Feb. I would say odds are not good.

Any idea what criteria they might have used to target you?

Anyone would be able to make an informed and educated guess: maybe he was a very regular guest who stopped? Maybe he has just become a regular guest for the first time? Maybe he has spent and unusually high or low amount with M of late? Maybe he has just taken or surrendered an associated credit card account? Maybe he has colleagues / friends / a partner who have / have not also been offered the promotion and they have discussed similarities / divergences in their travel patterns. Like most things in life, it's really not that hard when you think about it carefully....

Trying to guess what without the faintest clue from Marriott is like trying to guess winning lottery ticket numbers. Even if we had a ton of data it would be almost impossible to discern patterns as Marriott likely adds some randomness as well.

I got one last month even though I had 28 upcoming reservations in the next 4 months (Nov to Feb) and it’s all leisure travel. My travel is as random as Marriott promos. I go wherever I find an airfare deal. In that period, I had hotels booked in the US, Africa, Europe and Asia. (Nothing for Australia, NZ or China though. Could that be it?

) I had some hotels booked that I’ve been to before, and some new ones.

Maybe they targeted me because I stopped booking hotels in BC because I can now leave Canada. I was doing 5 trips/yr to BC in 2020 and 2021 because it was the furthest I could go from Toronto.

But I was so booked up from Nov ‘22 to Feb ‘23 that I couldn’t fit in any new trips or my dog would disown me. My targeted promo is double pts if my stay includes a Friday or Saturday. I couldn’t even change anything to get more points (unlike the current global promo where I changed hotels to max out on brands and sometimes on stays).

Why I was targeted? I haven’t a clue!

I have never had 2 promos doubled up to earn 3 x elite nights per night in the last decade which is why I said the odds aren't good.

2019 targeted double nights may - august
2020 targeted double nights march - may (maybe this wasn't utilized heavily)
2021 global double night double points for stays of 2+ nights February 16 - April 27
2022 global double night Feb 8 - May 4
I had a targeted double elite night from July 19 to October 19 2022 https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34437366-post140.html
valdor also got double elite night until end of Feb 2023 https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34749020-post196.html

Since there's overlap I don't think we will see this in the Q1 promo. Maybe in the Q3 promo?
