I noticed, especially since I have 4 stays between 1/15 and 1/31.

This is typical, Marriott megabonuses tend to have gaps, normally longer than just two weeks though.

It's a two week gap, hardly that long. Hotels don't need promo's 365 days a year.

Usually there is mile based bonus going on during the gaps.
I usually check once I hit mega bonus or during gaps to see if any miles deals.

Just look at the Megabonus offering.
Same old, same old, every single quarter.
Hardly rocket scientists working on this--why are you surprised there is a gap?

I noticed in the T&C's that it says Nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for credit. I've got an 8 night stay coming up that I plan to pay for with $1000 of Marriott GCs - those should still count for MB credit correct?

There may be some other way to do it, but in my case I simply e-mailed Marriott indicating that I had elite status with another chain (SPG) and was curious if they would status match. They indicated they don't, but offered a stay X nights in Y months challenge.
I think it was 12 nights in 3 months for Gold. I've heard about 18 nights for Platinum. I won't swear to either number and don't have the means of looking it up right now.

Level 4 properties as a reward for loyalty? Level 4? REALLY?
When Hilton offers fee nights with every 10 nights, you can stay almost anywhere, including W-A.....

Well, I guess the question is whether you would rather have one free night at a Cat 5/6 for 10 nights or one free night at a Cat 4 for 2 nights. I understand both perspectives.
