Another datapoint : both stays after the first 2 and before the date of registration for the unlock have been counted, and the tracker is showing 4 / 7 (57%) progress. Who cares for T&Cs, eh ?

Points
I already have had 7 stays since I have registered and 10,000 points have been posted to my account!
Now for the Starwood promotion that everyone has been talking about on here. I have never used Starwood didn't know what the promotion was and I had to check in on it.
So with the current Marriott promotion if I stayed at a regular Marriott property and a Sheraton property for $200 each
I am platinum elite!
Marriott $200
$200-2,000 Points
50%-1,000 points= 3,000
500 (Take points instead of food) 3,500
1,000 points- Total of 4,500
Now with Starwood they told me since I am platinum elite status with Marriott I would be platinum elite with SPG but only get 3 points per $1. Where as if I made 75 stays with Starwood I would then get 4 points per $1.
Sheraton
$200- 600 points
Sheraton- 500 Points - 1,1,00
1000 bonus points- Total 2,100
So from what I was told it was a conversion rate of 1 starwood point equals 3 Marriott points.
So from my stay at Sheraton it would be 2,100 points converted to 6,300 Marriott points. Makes more sense to me to stay with SPG
Can someone double check me to make sure this is accurate!
The other thing I wanted to ask. Do you get anything for staying 100 nights with Marriott?

I just received my cat 1-5 certificate, and I have applied it to a pts. stay that I already hade booked at the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit. So they returned 25K points into me account...certificate well used!
The agent told me that there won't be a continuation of the promo and that was it...I have seen conflicting information here.

All you have to do is email the hotel in advance, and they are quite generous. You can't just show up and ask. Take the extra effort to reach out in advance...trust me

The year I was PP I got a real nice Bluetooth speaker. I, however, can't say I noticed much difference in how I was treated at hotels. In fact, some of the front desk personnel didn't even know there was a difference from just platinum.

I had 124 nights last year and am at 116 this year -- stay at mostly full service Marriotts, JW's and Autograph properties. No PP for me.

100 stays
You would think they would do something for someone with 100 stays. How about instead of 50% extra bonus points you get 75% bonus. Maybe a 30,000 prize for reaching 100!

I've got my 1-5 certificate but have yet to see the 2nd part of MB promo unlock.
This is such a mess!
