Rewards 101 question
My apologies for asking a question that I'm sure has been addressed here before. If I book a room for myself and a separate room for my parents (same hotel and dates) do I get points and nights (for MegaBonus) for both rooms or just the room I am staying in?

points for both (as long as your number is on both) but only night credit for your room

As Socrates states, you can earn points on the extra room, but not night/stay credits.
And you can actually get points for up to 3 rooms in a hotel per night (Marriott Points Earning T&Cs - check out bullet #1 under Earn Points.)
Now with that said, most every year, I grab a set of rooms for myself and family for a big family get together. This is usually at a non-FS hotel (RI, SHS, etc.). And I can't remember a time when I didn't get both points and night credit for 3 rooms. The times I have done this at a FS Marriott, I have always just received the points but not the night/stay credit. But as always YMMV.

I received 2 nights credit for the megabonus for two rooms on the same night at a RI.
