Question about end of bonus stays. I normally blow through the nights without thinking, but I took a long vacation during this bonus period.
I am really close to getting the bonus and have questions on the end of the period as I have travel to book then.
For a stay from April 29 - 30 to count, would I have to check out on April 30?
Would a stay from April 30 - May 1 count?
How many nights would an April 29 - May 2 stay count for?
These are the T&Cs that do not make it perfectly clear:
- Registration is required.
- Marriott Rewards® members who register for this promotion by March 31, 2012, will earn 35,000 bonus points after 20 paid nights plus an additional 15,000 bonus points after 25 paid nights – up to a maximum of 50,000 bonus points between February 1, 2012, and April 30, 2012, at participating Marriott properties.
- This offer is non-transferable.
- Nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for credit.
A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity

(As to redeeming MegaBonus free night certs for use by someone else)
Really? This thread advises that it's not directly possible and that hotels could deny check-in. How exactly did you book MegaBonus nights in someone else's name?

Summer Megabonus question
The T&C are unclear as it stays the promotion starts 6/1. So, does a stay that starts on 5/31 with a checkout on 6/1 count for the promotion.
