... And then there are a number of people who (as in every MegaBonus cycle) have not had any version of this promo show up in their account. You can try concating Marriott to fix that (and an interactive method such as a phone call may be more likely to succeed than a non-interactive method like email).
Once You Get a MegaBonus

If Your Were Granted a Change to Your MegaBonus Offer
... Your old MegaBonus offer will continue to show on the Marriott site. The agent you spoke to noted your account and will usually make the adjustment about a week after the MegaBonus period ends. If the adjustment is not made by then, call Marriott Rewards and they will adjust it manually for you.

I updated the wiki to show how many stays or nights it takes to max each promo out. (Except for the "double points" version where that can't be calculated without knowing the price on each stay.)
The one I got is:

On a per night basis MB returns have remained stagnant for over 5 years. To keep par with rising redemption requirements they really should go up. Nope. Going down 20 to 30 percent based on your particular promo. It's disappointing.
4 stays gets you 8k points? It used to get 2 cat 4 or cat 5 certs.
