I Guess I'll be moving my 15 upcoming nights from Hilton to Marriot, how can you say no to Double Points?

Does anyone know, is this targeted? This Platinum has seen nothing of the sort yet.

HepperSchepp,

Did you receive this via email or snail mail? That is a great promotion and I too haven't seen this offer yet. I wonder if they are getting back at us Platinums for the last promotion where I got 35,000 bonus points :rolleyes:

Terms & Conditions:
Bonus Points will be posted 4-6 weeks after the promotion ends. Registration is not required. This offer is not transferable. Details of this offer are exclusive to the member named on this email. A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity. Members electing to earn miles are not eligible for this promotion. Nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible towards the promotion.


What I'm wondering is...
I'm staying at a Courtyard one night, checking out 7/15. Then I'm spending 10 days at a Vacation Club. Will the one night at CY count as my first stay?

Silver here & received today via e-mail.

My understanding, from a different targeted promotion with similar terms, is that a "stay" is defined as one or more consecutive nights at the same property, regardless of check-in and check-out activity. So, IMO, the CY stay will count as the first stay and the MVCI stay, if not an owner/exchange stay, should double, even if it begins the same day as the CY checkout. That should net you a cool 40-50K points, plus your elite bonus and MR CC bonus.

Enjoy! :)

Only for Silvers... Hmmmm...........
They already have all you PLT's :D

Sign your wife/dog/MIL up for the MR VISA, which gets them silver status and watch the teasers roll in :)

I have no status at all... :)

That's what I'm hoping will happen, the VC stay of 10 nights will double as well as the week I have booked at a Marriott in August.

I have to say that I've done alright by Marriott this year. I got the 15K bonus earlier this year and will actually come within range of making Gold.

All of my stays this year have been personal except for the week in August. Getting MR points is how I get something back for all those weekends on the road with my kids travel baseball team. BTW, they're 54-2-0. Go ECB Astros! :-:

I have a stay from september 12-17. How does this work out for the promotion? Full double points? No Double points? Partial Double points?!

I got the same email yesterday. Since the note specifically mentioned my silver status, I just assumed it is a silver only promo. I wasn't really expecting a promo until they do the Visa/double points thing again this fall. That seems to be an annual event.

My wife (Silver) got the e-mail and I (Platinum) did not. Definitely seems to be a Silver-only promotion.

jnbinpvb Jul 9, 2004 9:02 am

Humbug!
 
I'm Platinum (52 nites so far 2004), and my wife is Gold (46 nites so far 2004) (legit, not challange's) and neither of us got this...thanks for the loyalty???? :confused:

foodguy Jul 9, 2004 9:34 am

Nothing for me...so far! But the title of this thread got my heart pounding!! I recall the last double/double was around the end of the year so there may be hope yet. MR needs to get something going soon!!

ohmark Jul 9, 2004 10:57 am

Double/Double--different meaning
 
Previously when MR used a "double/double" promotion, it applied to everybody and provided double points AND double night credit. It seems like a long time since there's been a promotion with double night credit. Up to a few year's ago there seemed like there was one about every year. I would think the lack of such promotions would cut down on the number of plats and golds.
