Ahhh, forgot about the choice of night credit...
Yes, it only makes sense if it will help you get over the next threshold. Those that pick that benefit in December should be very close or it's a waste of benefit.

hold off on crediting nights till after 8/18.
Marriott is unclear on this, so there's a chance you won't get the benefit if you reach Plat before 8/18. Safest would be to hold off on crediting nights till after 8/18.

Wondering if MVCI Owner week nights count as paid nights or not. Anyone know?

I do believe they get night credit for staying those nights. Not sure on whether that would satisfy something like Megabonus or elite fastrack requirements or similar but just like award nights count toward LT status, MVCI owner nights count as well.

Megabonus usually requires a paid stay.

As mentioned earlier, these do NOT count for megabonus and other promotions based on number of stays etc.

I'm new to Marriott rules, so forgive me if this is obvious or well known. I have more Marriott/SPG points than my partner, but he is Platinum and I am only Gold. If I reserve with my points, but include him on the reservation (and he checks-in/occupies the rooms with me) will we get Platinum benefits? Or does the reservation in points need to come from his account?

Has anyone had success selecting your choice benefits? I found the link in the terms and conditions but it pops up a login screen that asks for my username and password. I've tried using my Marriott number, my SPG number and my email address that I always use to sign into my Marriott account, but it won't accept any of them. Are we supposed to have a "username" now? Or perhaps the system is still broken...if so, then I hope it gets fixed soon because the terms and conditions state that the free might will be deposited into the account within 2 weeks of selecting it, and I need to use it in 2 weeks!
