I didn't get an email, but on my promotions page: "Earn 25,000 bonus points after 20 paid nights + an extra 15,000 after 25 paid nights." For the MB promo of earlier I was offered "35,000 bonus points after 20 paid nights. Earn an additional 15,000 points after 25 paid nights (for a maximum of 50,000 points)." So a decrease of 10k points. Right now, I'm shifting stays to Hilton for the 1k points bonus per stay (and to do a Diamond status match) and SPG for the Resort nights, I'll get the MR promo too, but not in any hurry.
Sidenote: previously only stayed about 30 nights a year for work travel but took a new job that is 75% travel, so I will hit the promos no problem.

My MegaBonus showed up today and I registered.
Looks like they have me down for the 15 and 20 night option but did not preregister me as a Plat.

I liked the quote on the small promo;
Auto-registered for the promo for the first time. I'm a PP with regular 3-5 night stays per week.
I believe this is the same promo that Marriott has run for the last 3 years at least, it starts to get a bit boring. At least with Hilton you don't know what they are going to try next (fixed points per stay/night, free nights, miles, multipliers) - Marriott just puts the same combo (for lots of nights) of 50k / 40k / 50k (if you use visa) each year, with a slight exception that in the worst of the recession the first 50k turned into 60k.

I got "Earn 25,000 bonus points after 20 paid nights + an extra 15,000 after 25 paid nights."
No auto-promotion for me - I had to do a click to register!

Tried to call (while at work) to get Mr. Kipper switched... Dialed one number incorrectly and was connected to a "free sex line." Oops!!! I dropped the phone like it was on fire!

But don't wait until after the promotion period ends as they won't change it then. I recently found that out the hard way and missed out on two free nights.

Call MR and ask for it. I have a feeling that you did not get it only because of some sort of a computer or e-mail glitch. If you call MR, my guess is that you are about 98% sure to get it.

Same for me...I am a Lifetime Platinum, and usually get pre-registered, but nothing this time. I tried the online chat, and no help there, so I guess calling (or waiting a few more days) is probably the answer...

Yes, waiting a few days would be a good idea, especially considering that the promotion does not even begin until June 1.

I completed 4 stays and earned 2 free nights already using the similar Marriott promo around a month back. Hence I am not getting this offer to work for me. It just takes me to "Congratulations - you earned the maximum"
It didn't work for me this time.
