This is great. Also, I think along these offers, the other version is always 1 free night cat 1-4 after 2 stays with max of 2 free nights. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Most of the Megabonuses had a series of different options including free nights as you mention and lower bonus point options for those who don't normally stay in the 20-30 night range within the promo period.

I figured it would clutter the thread up too much to put all the offers, and you can spot the trends pretty easily just from the maximum offers.

Any idea why they start from Feb 1 instead of Jan 1?

The current offer ends 01/15 and there is usually a two week break between promos.

ALL of these offers pale by comparison to Hilton's free nights.
And Hilton's promos in general pale by comparison with some of it's smaller competitors such as Hyatt and Starwood.
Which is why I have not stayed more than a few nights in Marriotts for the past nine years.
Thank goodness for lifetime MR Gold. With about 45 nights to go for lifetime Platinum--maybe I'll get there in three years from the 15 elite nights I get each year from my Marriott Visa card.
Wake up Bill. Time to shake up your Marriott Rewards staff and have them smell the (competitive) roses....

The promo that is in your promotion central is targeted for you. You will need to call and change and MR reps will change it manually after the promo period is over.

Once again I am sounding like a hardcore newbie, but
June 1 and August 31, 2012- No credit card required - maximum offer is 40K points for 25 nights
I take that to mean you get 40k pts when you stay 25 nts within that time frame...what does the no credit card required mean/have to do with it?
Also, how can I sign up?
When i log into my acct and go to promotions, this is all i see.
To earn your free nights:
Register by June 30, 2012
Stay twice at any participating hotel between June 1 and August 31, 2012
Earn one free night after every second paid stay, up to three free nights
Enjoy your free nights at any of 2,900+ category 1-4 hotels.
This summer, imagine more. You’ve earned it.
