I looked for the answer to my following question but didn't see the answer. I also sent a message to MR but I guess they didn't understand my question because they didn't answer it, so I am asking it here. The Megabonus begins February 1. But is that checkin or check out date? If I check out on Feb. 1 having checked in during late Jan., does that qualify as a stay under this Megabonus?
If this has been previously answered, I apologize. Thanks.

I finally got the answer to my question. Stays will only count if you check in on Feb. 1 or later.

I called to switch promotions and the agent asked me which one I wanted. She said they had 10 different promos for this MegaBonus!
She was willing to accommodate but didn't tell me what the promotions were. I said I wanted the 50k one and that was it -same as always, she put a note in my account and told me the points would manually post after the promotion period ends.

I"m not seeing this offer either (I've been Gold for several years running). Is it possible it's either targeted or not offered to everyone?

I'm UK based and I don't see it either - I didn't see one of the megabonus offers that was on last year either.

MB2015 alternate offer
Logged in to My Profile | Promotions to ensure registration for Spring Megabonus. Then sent email through Contact Us requesting 55K points alternate offer and was confirmed < 24 hours.
The original offer will still show until mid May 2015 when a manual adjustment will be made to credit the additional points earned.

I called in and tried to switch. This was my initial offering I could register for:
Earn 2,000 points on every paid stay, starting with your second stay, up to 24,000 bonus points (maxes out after 13 stays)
I wanted to switch to:
Earn 3,000 points on every paid stay that includes a Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday — up to 24,000 bonus points (maxes out after 8 stays over weekend day)
I was told that the one I wanted to switch to was one that could not be manually tracked. I asked if the rules changed for this MegaBonus (as I have never had an issue switching promotions) and was told that this year Marriott decided to not allow a number of the options to be manually tracked/changed. There were three options I could switch to though including:
1) Earn 2,500 points on every paid stay, starting with your second stay, up to 25,000 bonus points (maxes out after 11 stays)
2) Earn 35,000 points after 20 paid nights plus 2,000 points after every additional night, up to 55,000 bonus points (maxes out after 30 nights)
3) Can't remember but similar to #2 above (just lower threshold)
I did HACU but got the same result three times. Was anyone else able to switch to the 3,000 points for a Thursday to Sunday stay promo?

I have the up to 25 nights for 35k promo, and asked via email to be switched to the up to 30 nights for 55k promo, and they wrote back that they can't switch me to another promo.

No thanks those are worthless to me. Still have my credit card night (extended) and planning to cancel the card shortly. Anything below Cat 6 is useless in world-class cities or resorts.
Ditto - had to call as I received nothing. I was manually registered but not sure which one - I guess it's a surprise!
Addendum: Also rec'd 2500 per stay after 2nd
don't want to push my luck but may call again as the 10k/10N would be preferable.
I have still not received the information for the Spring 2015 Promotion.
I am a Silver Elite member and I just called Guest Services. They have manually registered me for the 2'500 bonus points for each stay beginning with the second stay (max. 25'000 points).
Anyone have an idea why I did not receive the promotion offer automatically via the web site?

Marriott will not switch me!
I received the offer of 2500 MR points after the second stay. Trying to switch to offer of 3000 points after first stay. They will not switch me as they say that this particular offer is targeted .
