How long is it taking for the points to post on this? They haven't posted yet for a stay ending on 6/3. (The stay posted on 6/8) The promotion ticker says Stays made = 1. But no points.

If you have only stayed once, then there shouldn't be any bonus points - bonus points start from stay #2.

Since it's 10k from 5 stays, does it post 4000 for the 5th stay to make up for the fact that nothing posted for the first stay?

The math in the T&Cs doesn't add up. It says you get 12000 points, but then it say you get 2000 points per stay starting at the second stay, and 2000 points for the 6th stay. That adds up 10000 not 12000.

I'll take a stab at this...

1st stay - No points
2nd to 5th stay - 2k each (8k points total)
6th stay - 2k points (+2k points bonus if applicable)

This matches with the progress bar you see on your Promotions page, which goes up to 6 stays.

Hope that helps. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I think you have it correct.

I just completed my 2nd stay, and the 2,000 bonus points posted at the same time as my points for the stay. They are separate entries.

My apologies if I missed this particular aspect...

Receive an additional sweepstakes entry with every stay**
  1. So, would members receive 1 sweepstakes entry per stay starting form the 2nd stay?
  2. Would this entry be emailed to them or be available on the MR member page?
  3. More importantly, once we have the sweepstakes entry, how do we enter the sweepstakes?

Thanks in advance .

Ch33rs,
Monk

Not sure where you copied the quote from, but everything I have seen indicates the sweepstakes entries are based on nights, not stays.

Enter our sweeps when you register, and again with every night you stay: 100 members will win 100,000 points – for a total of 10 million points.
So, you have one entry when you register and one additional entry for every NIGHT you stay during the period.

These "entries" are all electronic. You will not receive anything via email nor on your web account page.

The entries are made automatically for you when you earn them.

I just located the full Rules for the sweepstakes.

https://www.marriott.com/File_Blocks...eep_rules.html

Confirms entry from first night.

Something I didn't realize:

Reservations made through any venue other than Marriott.com will not count for entry in the Sweepstakes.
I guess when I book through concur for work trips I don't get entries?

We have to use Concur at work also and it seems that most of the time I get full points and bonuses. YMMV

Agree. I have always received points and bonuses.

What I don't know here, and i don't know of any way to check, is if I will get sweepstakes entries.

I am not really worried about it. But found it interesting restriction for their program.

Any news on any further offers this summer?

All of my promotions are 100% - so I'm guessing little incentive (other than existing benefits) until September?

This is exactly how it posted for me.

The 2,000 UA award miles have still not posted, and it has been 3.5 weeks since I completed the promotion.

Kind of happy about this summer promotion...it was so bad I have been staying at Hilton with their double points promo and regularly getting 20+K per $500 stay, including elite bonus, CC, and double dip. Adds up fast, even with the 30% value difference.

I will say that this was certainly one of the weakest MR promotions I have ever seen (though the weakest was last year - no promotion at all). I am hoping (not holding my breath though) that there may be more promotions than in years past if they will not be yielding as many points per promo.
