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.

Please fell free to edit. I was trying to get a pic in my mind of relatively how many people are offered each and thought others might find it interesting.

I received option 2B: 2k points per stay, starting with 2nd stay.

Certainly doesn't cause me to move any stays to Marriott, as SPG and HH both have better promos right now.

Called and successfully switched to "Earn 3,000 bonus points for each paid stay that includes a Friday or Saturday, up to 30,000 bonus points" offer.

The agent noted that down in my account, and I have to call back after Jan 15 so that the agent can manually posted the points for me.

Still no promos for me! I think I had this problem with the last MegaBonus too. Maybe I should just take it to mean that I can wait until later and pick whatever looks best for me?

Same here. All my stays recently have been weekends due to kids sports!

A little confused...

The Wiki seems to indicate that at least one person has a 35,000 offer with a possibility of 20,000 more, to total 55,000.

I am one of those with no offer received, but did get enrolled via chat with Marriott (I am PP and lifetime Plat).

My offer is, like many's, 25,000 + 20,000 = 45,000.

She assured me this is the TOP offer this go-round, and that the 55,000 was an old promo.

I asked whether it would help to get back with Marriott if I had some proof that there is currently a better offer on the table. She said yes.

So, is there proof of a current better offer, or is the 45,000 it?

I just edited the wiki format (no content changes), to hopefully make it easier to read with the extra information you added (btw, thanks for adding that).

As others have pointe out, maybe this saves Marriott in the long run because there are those who won't know to call in, although if the MegaBonus is a marketing tool that drives business, you'd think Marriott would want to get the word out to all customers. And as others have pointed out, you may be able to finagle a better-for-you offer, although IME, when you call in, the agent tells you which bonus you have been given. I've had some success and not had some success asking to switch promos.
I agree, you'd think the marketing group @ Marriott would get a grip on their IT, especially for a tool that is supposed to provide incentives for loyal Marriott rewards members. This is the first time I've experienced this though, in the past I've been automatically registered.

I just called and I was offered the 25K points for 20 nights, I inquired about the 35K points for 20 nights, and she said that promotion doesn't exist, anyone else hear that?

I got offer 4 (15k after 15 nights). Not gonna do anything for me, specially since I haven't been able to get into my favoured hotel the last couple of times.

Didn't even bother registering

So offer 6 is a mystery. dank0014, Michilander(removed, didn't get it) have it. MR is telling people who got offer 5 that 6 doesn't exist.

Did anyone else get 6? Can someone who did grab a screenshot?
