I have the Megabonus offer quoted below, and I am at 14 nights with no more scheduled stays for the year. I'm kind of a Marriott rookie, but it is it worth it for me to try to get a cheap room somewhere for a night to get the 15k points?
I live in a major metro area and also will be driving to the next state a few times later this month (but no planned hotel stays). I could just reserve a room and checkin and leave, right? Any ideas on how I could find the cheapest idea for this? Any other creative ways to get the last night?

Has it been determined if points redemptions qualify as nights for MegaBonus? Or are they like Birthday Nights and Credit Card Nights and only part of your annual total and tally for LT Status? I'll hit 20 nights tonight. Without Points Redemption Nights, right now I'll only have eight more during the period. With, I've got ten. (Although I'll likely book stuff in Jan before the end of the promo.)

I called and requested a different bonus offer. See my post at the bottom of the last page. Thanks for the advice though. I'll try that next time if I need to.

In your case, you seem to be referring to post #299.

Any word on 2016 promos? The current one ends Jan 15 and I have a stay on the 18th...

As has been the case for a number of years in the past, there's a gap between the Jan 15 date end of one and the Feb 1 start of the other one. Had you either remembered that or looked into years past, you would have realized that unfortunately Jan 18th has never (in recent time, anyway) fallen inside a MegaBonus promotion period.

So for those who belong to multiple hotel programs, there's no shortage of ways to fill in the Jan 16-31 gap at Marriott.

Got a bit of a chuckle today calling MR about the fall megabonus. Agent told me that I only needed 13 more nights between now and Jan 15. Guess it's theoretically possible.

As long as you start your start your stay before Jan 15, the entire stay should count towards the promo

I might be mistaken. I thought I read it somewhere (Marriott Insider or Terms and Conditions) that as long as you start your stay in the promo period, it would count. I've never tested this out though so your experiences may be what is correct.

Nope. Imagine if you had a 30 night stay, with only one night in the period.
