Another one on stays rather than nights. I bet some people will be checking in and out on a daily basis during multi-day trips.

Do you receive airline miles or Marriott points for your stays? If points, then to take part in this bonus program, you will need to switch your earnings to miles instead.

Have a 7 night stay in South Beach thru the 6th of January...will change to airline mile preference after this stay...don't think it's worth giving up the hotel points on extended stays...so will try to max this promo with 26 1-2 night stays within the time period and then change back to hotel points...

All you need to do is go into your MR account and change your earning preference to miles before clicking on the promo link.

Anytime a promo is stating what your earning preference is in the T&Cs, you will not be able to register (and get that message above) until your account preference matches the promo requirements.

I would think in the line of 25 nights for 40K to 50K points depending which offer you will be targeted for.

Am I reading this right? We'll get 2,000 Southwest points for every stay? PLUS the normal base miles?!?!

Your thoughts may be wishful thinking. Typically there is only one major promotion per timeframe. (There are other targeted promos)
