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

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?

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!

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 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.

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!!

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.
