I'm a Silver and I didn't get the e-mail either - yet. It doesn't sound like this is a double/double promo but merely double points after your second stay. I'll take whatever bone they throw at me.

I think the last one was Fall 2001 - Spring 2002. I cleaned up on that one.

Yes that was because of 9/11 to help people requalify. First time I made Gold because not only did they give double night credit, the credits in Q1 2002 counted for both years (2001 and 2002). Now I am hooked and do 50 nites w/o double credits.

Why don't the Golds and Platinums of the world unite and flood Marriott's e-mail with requests to be included? I've sent mine in already!

Hey,

I'm a Plat and my Mega Spring Promo only netted 20,000 points.

What promotion did you receive.

It's improper usage as they are not a silver member. I believe the improper construction is called a dangling participle.

Call the Plat line, if you had the appropriate stays, they should give you the extra 15,000 points. Worked for me, I got an extra 20,000 as I was only targeted to receive 15,000. There is a thread here somewhere about that...

Read this thread yesterday. I figured go the old route- call the MR people. Which I just did, explained that a couple of friends told me they were able to get this double pt credit after their 1st stay bet 7/15&9/15. The guy said hold on looked it up, and told me after it ends 9/15 I will have the 2x posted manually.
I took his name and ext #. I have a week upcoming beginnig of Aug at a Renaisance overseas, so B4 that Ill just do a mattress run, worth it for 10,000+ extra pts. So off to Roomsaver to find a $59 or $69 place in NJ or CT, there are a number of them.
Im a Silver with Marriott. I suggest anyone who didnt get targeted do likewise.

looking for cheap room DFW or SAT

I am silver this year (working to get back to gold). I waited for today's ebreak letter to find a cheap place for a mattress run. SAT seldom is on the list due to the volume of vacationers and conventioners. DFW had no offerings either. So, I am looking for a cheap stay before my upcoming 5 night stay at a Ren. which is followed by some shorter stays.

Well I called and was given the qualified "Sorry this is for Silver only"...

It's like they are begging me to take my business somewhere else!! Guess they need the room so they can fill up their hotels with all those new double pointing Silvers... Writing a letter now...

Any (un)official thoughts or comments, Marriott Concierge?
