* - some report that MR told them this is not a valid promotion option

If You Did Not Receive an Offer
... 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
... Once you call or email Marriott and are given a MegaBonus, it will take several days to show in your account. Be patient.

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 may have ten nights this fall. Maybe. Not going to help me one iota.

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:
3) 25,000 bonus points after 20 paid nights + 2,000 bonus points after each additional night, up to 45,000 bonus points (maxes out after 30 nights)

While that's the case, let's be thankful there is a promo. They could have simply "recalibrated" the summer promo to whatever they wanted, but instead of doing that they just cancelled it. I'd much rather have a slightly weaker promo than none at all.

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.

Nothing here yet, but it says that they'll all be released by 5pm EST on the 19th so we got time to wait

I have at least 6 nights coming up in the next 3 weeks so I hope it's something good...

edit: I just realized it starts september 15.

my 6th night ends on the 14th.

welp.

if you're referring to your 2B promo I think you'll only get 6000 points.

Yiu are right. 4 stays after the first say will get 8 K. Don't know what the husband got yet cause he's always overlooked by Marriott's Crack IT team so I will have to call.
