Option 5 is inferior to Options 2, 3, 4 and 6. Heck, even doing the math, Option 1 is better if you have the need for 3 Cat 4 nights. Three nights at Cat 4 is the equivalent of 60k points, whereas Cat 5 is only 45k points. Two nights at a Cat 5 is worth 50k points. Not to mention these awards require very few stays, as opposed to Option 5, which requires one stay in MI properties 25 of the 118 nights during the promo period. (22% of the nights during the period)
Why would they sign a PP with 60+ (actual) nights thus far to #5?

My account is showing all three. The spring stay bonus (stay 15 for me), the Fairfield 5K bonus after two stays, and the summer bonus (stay 15 again).
FWIW - I am platinum. I got the spring stay 15 get 25K. I called to change to the stay 2, get one Cat 4 (up to three), but unexpectedly ended up staying exactly 15 days. So, I received 25K points. I don't know if they will honor giving me the three cat 4s and taking back their 25K points. We are staying at a cat 4 in Hawaii soon, so those are more valuable than the points.

Because they think so little of you and your business that they are willing to shaft you. Obviously, they are hoping they get away with giving you less than they give those who stay a few measly nights. It's not an honorable way to do business. Sadly, it seems to have become the Marriott way of doing business.

It is very strange that my account do not have any promotion. My wife got #5 since she is platinum and usually stay a lot in Marriott. My brother seldom use his account, but he got #1 this time.

Still nothing for this Canuck either.
In the past I have been the recipient of the megabonus - with no details. I would have to log into Marriott.de to see which bonus I received. I didn't receive a mini bonus, but there seems to be quite a few who weren't targeted.

I'm from Europe and could see mine for a little while at marriott.co.uk but not at marriott.com. Now it has disappeared alltogether.

Gone again?
The promotion was listed on my page since Saturday night US time - even Sunday morning. I did not register yet, however.
In the last 2 hours, my stay from last week posted and I fully qualified for the Spring MB, My Unexpected Bonus disappeared unexpectedly
