How can I check online that I have successfully enrolled in the Megabonus promotion? I was on the line with agent about other business and in the end she told me that she also enrolled me in the Megabonus promotion. Just want to confirm before I pull the trigger. Thanks

Yes on calling Marriott. I've had to do so myself when offers did not show up in my account. The crazy thing is that it got worse when I hit Pt Premier. However, it should be easily resolved with a call.

Who knows, I may hit it since I know I'll have 1 paid Marriott stay, so the 2nd paid stay just depends if I direct something else away to Marriott.

I actually have two stays late next week. I should earn the cert after checking out on the morning of 9/15. I'll post about what follow-on offer that unlocks.

if you use the night cert, do you still get the Platinum benefit (breakfast/lounge/upgrade/etc?)

Marriott's policy of treating elites as elites, regardless of rate, is one of the unheralded benefits of MR compared to the competition, where an ineligible paid rate (e.g., booked through an OTA or contracted) gets you NOTHING.

Yes. Marriott provides elite benefits regardless of your rate. This includes free nights. Marriott Marquis Bangkok upgraded me to an M Suite on my Cat 5 cert in June.

Sorry, I was going slightly OT . . . after answering OP's question was referencing Hyatt, where you do not get elite benes on paid rates unless they are eligible for points accrual.
I think all the major programs give benes on award redemptions and free night certs.
