I am Silver and got the 25k points after 15 stays offer. Useless to me because I only have 12 stays planned during this period. Paying an extra $400+ (3 nights) for 25k points isn't worth it.

I'll call and try to switch to double points.

Like others, I have some speculative bookings pending certificates - hopefully we'll see those again in the autumn.
same here (Gold)

although since all I need is points to get to LT plat, I guess its a good thing but what it doesn't do is make me use Marriott's any more than I would have without any promo.

Sorry, nights. Most of my trips are for only 1 nights, so it's the same to me

I won't even come close to that.

So I called and switch to the double points after second paid stay (not 100% clear on whether the second stay gets the bonus points or not).

After being given a speech about how these are targeted promos and I'm really not supposed to ask for this but she'll do it this one time . . . I got this newsflash:

The bonus points won't appear until after all of my summer stays (June 1-Aug 31) are posted. Then, I have to call MR back and DO THE MATH with them OVER THE PHONE. She suggested I track it manually to be sure. Then MR will credit me whatever points I'm owed . . .

WHAT COULD GO WRONG?

I'm a plat and my offer is 25k after 15 nights, additional 10k after 20. I always get similar offer and always switch to certs. I'm a plat because of rollover, credit card, and booking rooms for a soccer team. I won't get close to 15 nights this summer. I guess I will switch to double points. Thank you, Marriott snobs, for complaining about certs and influencing Marriott to change. (Please note sarcasm)

Note:

It does not say base points, so does this mean true double points including plat bonus?

It says after the second stay.

Thought there would be more but that pretty much covers it. Got the up to 45K but doubt Id do 20 nights yet alone 25. Will probably switch to the 25K for 15 nights, unless I fall way below 15. Hoping to hit LT Plat this year so the pts are needed over the better deal of 2 Cats 1-5
