Just called and the CSR told me that this time around, they have gotten more strict on the promotions...she said that they are not switching members to a different promotion.
The one you got picked for will be the only promotion you can participate in...
Has anyone else tried? lol

I usually change to the free certs, not because I can't make the promo. We always seem to find a way to use the certs.
I got the 35K + 15K for 20N/25N. I think I will just keep what I have this time. But, I am going to watch this thread to see how many are successful in switching.
Sitting back to grab the popcorn on this one, let the moves begin.

Huh? My points offer was for 35,000 points at 20 nights and 15,000 additional points for a total of 50,000 at 25 nights. Thirty nights aren't necessary.

I got the 15+5 nights for 40K points, but just called and switched to the 3 x Cat 1-4 offer. Like others have said - I like the 3 free nights. Depends on where you use them - but there are some Cat 4 Courtyards at $200+ per night at peak times.
I could not get the 2 x Cat 1-5.

and did you, or any other poster, notice that this time when MC announced the bonus they did it without the cavaet stated in current on-going bonus???
"Promotional offers are specific to each individual Rewards member,
and as a reminder, promotional offers may not be switched."
and we all know how that went...........

Probably not what he said, but who he talked to.
It is starting to look like Cat 5 is limited to out of US addresses? Anyone get Cat 5's whose address with Marriott is in the US?
