I got the 2500 points per stay after the 1st stay... Doesn't really help me out that much as I'm booked at a courtyard for the next 2 months straight... wish I could have had one of the better deals.
I wonder how they target... I stayed at Marriotts over 230 nights last year, and have about 45 this year already.

SHOCKER...I got hosed again...
I got the whopping 10K for 5 stays...So much for being a Platinum Premier and that meaning anything...Marriott's bonuses have pretty much sucked for the last 18 months - and they consistently give their loyal customers the shaft...I got one of the crummiest bonuses last MegaBonus Promo...
THANKS AGAIN MARRIOTT

Followed the link from pointsofinterest (thank you!). Never could find an on-line form, so I called the number.
1. They said I could get up to 30,000 points for 20 nights (NOT STAYS!!!!!)
2. The bonus screen also says 30,000 points for 20 nights.
I assume that's the deal I got.
Whooooo-Hooooooo!!!
<calm down>
I will call SLC later on to verify, but for now ...

20 nights = 30K for me too.
I'm not sure I like the all-or-nothing of 20 stays, but I guess it will work for what they want - I'll cram in my spg stays for the rest of the month and then off to Marriott for a couple months.

Someone please correct whichever one of us is wrong.

From the Mega Bonus FAQ:
That strongly suggests you get the points on an on-going basis.
Also, the wording is "..up to 30,000 points", which again suggests you get the points in pieces as you go along.
When will the Marriott Rewards bonus points appear in my account?
The Marriott Rewards bonus points will be posted to your account along with the base points earned for that stay.

As a resurfacing Platinum (ie I made Platinum last year, but wasn't the year before, but was the year before that) I clicked on the link provided and received the offer of 15 nights and 20k points. As I could easily make it up to 20 nights I hope I can convince them to give me the extra 10k points... Maybe I'll just show my hotel stay list which alternates between Hilton and Marriott and give them a reason to earn my business.

I'd wait until the promo starts and you've done your 15 nights. And please report back how you make out.

I got 2 stays, 5000 bonus points. i.e. MGS5E.
Seems to fit with my travel profile too. Last year I did 8 nights on business and 3 on leisure. Barely made Silver. So, this is supposed to tease just a bit more out of me I guess.
