I have heard from a CSR that nights don't necessarily get reported up correctly from the properties (because the properties don't do it right). This is probably more of a concern around paying with Visa during the Fall Megabonus, but you may want to contact the Rewards folks if you're seeing the points for the stay post, but not the promo credit.

Gilbraltar87 is correct. Any number of 'consecutive nights' @ same hotel = 1 stay.

:rolleyes: See my post below the post you quoted.

When is the Cat4 cert expiring?
 

Just trying to find out that for the CAT4 cert that was credited, when is it expiring?

Thanks!

I'm at 18 nights because my stay was from Jan 23 - Feb 10.

Sept 30 2012

I got my promo changed so that I can't even see my progress :(

The worst is that my certs won't be in my account till the promo is finished.

For the current Megabonus promo, the CAT4 certs will expire Sept 30, 2012.

Nacho, I did not see that you had already responded to the CAT4 expiration inquiry. If u need to use your earned CAT4 certs prior to the end of the Megabonus promo, I think a call to MR could do the trick. I will have more than six stays during this promo, so I called and requested the third CAT4 cert that is usually given to plats, rep noted the act and told me the third cert would be creditted at the end of the promo but if I need it before that, I could call them.

I plan to use all three certs on an upcoming trip to Asia next month

You got lucky. My husband was credited 2 nights for a 5 night stay from Jan 29 to Feb 3.

I'm set up for the 20 nights promo but I'm not going to be near that amount as my work travel has slowed down considerably. Can I still change it now? I'm at 2 stays for the promo but I'll prob get 4.

Ah yes. There are many different versions of the MegaBonus promo and in re reading the OP's original post he is asking about 'nights' not stays. So the OP is apparently on a nights version of the promo not a stay version.

Not matter how many consecutive nights at same hotel, it still equals 1 stay. However, it makes no difference to the OP how many stays if he is on one of the nights versions of this promo. :cool:

The sooner you call the change it the more likely it will be. There have been many post about people even calling and changing it at the end or after the promo was over.

However, I would not depend on that scenario. Better safe than sorry. At least make the call so you accounted can be noted that you will not meet your promo and are requesting the change.

Same here. Got credit for one night of a three night stay 1/30 - 2/2.

I understood the terms to say that all nights in a stay would count if at least one night fell within the promo period, but alas it didn't work that way for me. :(

I would give Marriott a call to have your points adjusted.

If I check in before February 1, 2012, or check out after April 30, 2012, do I still earn credit for that stay?

As long as one (1) eligible night occurs during the eligibility earning window (February 1, 2012 – April 30, 2012) a member would earn a credit for that stay.

•A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity.

Yes, you earn credit for the stay, if on a stay based promo, but only for the nights in the period if on a night based promo. I asked, and that is what I was told. It does make sense, taken to an extreme what if someone checked in 25 days before the promo started and check out on the first day, they'd be done then?
