+1. Thanks!

I got the free night w/ 2nd stay... was sort of options would they give you if you were interested in switching? Is it member/status specific?

Yes...

I got that one too.

Oddly, when I go to the My Promotions page it states that I'm already registered. However, this was the first time I viewed the page for the new promo and I never even saw a link to register (so obviously I never actually registered :confused:).

Marriott has been auto-registering me for sometime now, I thought I had read (maybe even here on FT) that Marriott was going to auto-register all Elites for promos, but I could be wrong.

Dan

I got stay 2 get 1 as well.

Yeah, I was already registered, too. Maybe dan1431 is correct and we are being autoregistered.

Me too.

It looks like there are three other offers out there;

Earn 35,000 points after 20 paid nights + an additional 15,000 points after 25 paid nights (up to 50,000)

and

Earn 25,000 points after 15 paid nights + an additional 15,000 points after 20 paid nights (up to 40,000)

and

Earn 5,000 points for each 2nd paid stay—up to 20,000 points

Haven't seen anyone report any others.

I'm not sure how it works for Golds, but as a Plat I got them to change my offer on the last MegaBonus from a free night for two stays offer to a points reward like one of the above. All I can recommend is to call MR and ask if you can get one of the other offers. If they will allow Golds to change, you should get your choice of the four.

Thanks for the heads up, got "Earn 35,000 points after 20 paid nights + an additional 15,000 points after 25 paid nights (up to 50,000) when you use your Visa® card" as per the past few years, didn't get auto-registered this time though. Always handy to get the extra points. I'm a Plat Premier and completed the last 35+15 promotion a few weeks ago.

For the past three years, I have been able to pay for the hotel with my Amex and the incidentals with my Visa. The first year, the night credit showed up automatically. The last two, I have had to call the Platinum desk to have them added. It worked every time.

Anyone else not receiving offers for MegaBonus promotions? For the summer megabonus, I waited until the end of July and, with nothing showing under "Promo Central" (both the drop down from the main page and the actual Promotions Page), I wrote in to ask why I wasn't offered anything. I got a response on July 29 that said, essentially, "you were already automatically registered for the 20,000+10,000 promotion on June 1. Thanks". I pulled up my promotions page and, oddly, I was now registered for the 25,000+15,000 promotion, not the 20,000+10,000 promotion. :confused: I then looked at my account activity and, sure enough 40,000 points posted as of that same day - July 29. The problem is I achieved the 25 night goal on June 26, a month and 3 days earlier but Marriott specifically said I was already registered prior to sending my original email to CS.

I wrote back again and asked for clarification - was I automatically registered on June 1 or did I only become registered when I wrote in to ask why I wasn't offered a MegaBonus. The same CS Rep wrote me back, in broken English, and told me that I had registered myself on July 29....prior to his response. Completely untrue! :mad:

Kind of a tangent to my original question above, but why lie to a customer and why ignore the original question - "Why wasn't I selected for a MegaBonus?" This takes something trivial, such a computer goof when processing MegaBonus selection, and leaves me with a really nasty taste in my mouth. I'm PP and am trending toward 400+ nights this year. Would it really be so hard to give me a respectful reply?

Anyway, I'm sitting here reading that others have their Fall MegaBonus offers. Most of my employees have received their offers. Are there any other Elites out there that have missed out on Fall, Summer, or both?

You mean the last 25k+15k bonus promotion?

Nothing in my promo account. I am a platinum.

Got the 35K + 15K here. Had the stay 2 get one free last time.

I just recently changed my address to European and look at what I have gotten:

My bro got the same offer, naturally he changed his address to European as well. 4 Cat5s are definitely worth it. We are doing this promo for sure...
