Winter/Spring 2014 Megabonus
 
Showed up on my account this morning.


There’s plenty to love about Marriott Rewards, from exclusive benefits to 250+ rewarding opportunities. Now, with MegaBonus, there’s even more.

To earn up to two free nights:

Register by March 31, 2014
Stay between February 1 and April 30, 2014
Earn a free night at a category 1-4 hotel after the second paid stay, up to two free nights

Yes, that's Cat 1-4, not 1-5. Rather disappointing, but I haven't given them a lot of revenue recently (should have much more in 2014), so they may be targeting the Cat 5 offers based on revenue.

Still nothing yet but pretty disappointing if true. Previous promos had max of 3 cat 1-4, or max of 2 1-5

With the devaluation last year it's been hard to even find cat 5s to use them in outside of Asia

No emails or anything on the site for me yet either.

Husband's is the same one he always gets- 35K for 20 nights, another 15K for 25. Yawn.

I also have the 2 Cat. 4 certs offer, after having Cat. 5 certs offers the last few Megabonuses.

Looks like I'll be working on IHG's spring Big Win.

Is there anything official in how you are picked for the 2 Cat. offer vs point offers?

joetro Dec 18, 2013 9:47 am

Ugh 1-4 also. Pretty useless.

DutchRyan Dec 18, 2013 9:50 am

I got the Cat 1-4 cert offer as well. This is after getting the cat 5 offer on the last two Megabonuses. It's a slap in the face considering Marriott's huge devaluation last year. I can't think of a single half-way decent category 4 Marriott that I would want to stay at in the US.

I was already planning on moving more of my stays to Hyatt. This just solidifies it. If only they had better coverage of the Midwest.

Got also up to 2 free nights, cat 1-4.
Disappointing...

VickiSoCal Dec 18, 2013 10:09 am

Remember last time a bunch of people got 1-4, then they changed it to 1-5, saying it was a mistake?

yul lite Dec 18, 2013 10:10 am

2 x Cat 1-5 here. It's been the same for a year now.

I am using the certs already earned at the Renaissance Mai Khao, but now most properties I am interested in moved up to Cat 6. Actually, all of them did.

BKKLEE Dec 18, 2013 10:14 am

as I recall, read of a few were able to change 3 Cat 1-4s for 2 Cat 1-5s but do not recall anyone changing from 2 Cat 1-4s to 2 Cat 1-5s, nor of any "misstake" but perhaps it's brain freeze being caused by the temperatures here in BKK (feel to 17C this morning!!).....
