So I log onto my account, and there's a big square with "Mega Bonus Promotion" "Earn 1000's of Points" plastered all over it.
With trembling fingers, I clicked on it, only to come up with a screen telling me something about technical difficulties accessing my account.
Hmmmm. I remember last year's Mega Bonus promo -- have I stepped in the Twilight Zone with an old copy from my cache, or is there really a new promotion starting?

Saw it too... about an hour ago. Definitely new. Though they've taken the graphic down since (it was where the valentine's "Toast for Two" graphic appears on the home page). Must have been a trial run.
Last year's MegaBonus promotion began on February 15 (ended May 15). Here's hoping that Marriott allows us to repeat the bonus this time around. Last year we could only get the bonus once (7 nights = 10,000 points, and you're done).
I've never seen Web development like what's going over there at Marriott... it's like they use the production ("live") environment for testing. The "My Account" link hasn't worked for the past day (it's back now) and before that they had two "My Account" links!

OK, the deal that I was just offered (as Platinum) is to stay 20 nights between 3/1 and 6/1 of this year and receive 30,000 bonus Marriott points.
I don't know if that is a standard, or if others will be offered different night requirements or bonuses.
Registration is required; award stays don't count, and you must be earning Marriott points (not airline miles) to receive this bonus.
Of course, it is on top of the points you would already accrue for your stays.

OK, call me a tease.....
I simply reviewed the info from the 2004 promo, and saw that you could register by calling 1-888-MARRIOTT
So, I called that number tonight and the recording said I had reached the Marriott MegaBonus enrollment line. I entered my Marriott Rewards number when prompted, and was registered and given the conditions I outlined in the previous post.
The dates given are new and the parameters I received are different than those I received in 2004.
(And apologies in advance to Chris if I overstepped Marriott Corporate bounds.)

I just called and they offered me a big MEGA bonus of 2 stays to earn a SCREAMING 5,000 bonus points. I believe last year I got an offer of 7 nights for 10,000 points.
This will actually work okay for me since I am more of a Hilton guy with a smattering of Hyatt/Marriott/Starwood stays.
It sure beats any promo that Hilton is offering now.

Terms:
Credit toward the above indicated Marriott Rewards MegaBonus is given for stays with Marriott between March 1 and June 1, 2005. Registration is required. Nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for credit. The details of this offer, including the number of stays needed to achieve your bonus, and the number of bonus points awarded, are not transferable. 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.
Stays made prior to registration count toward the promotion.I followed the link pointsofinterest posted and was instructed to log in. Then it said to register using the form at right, but there was no form at right. Another text on the page said I was already registered. I clicked on the FAQ link to find out I got the 20 nites 30K points. I'm happy with that.
I post all this to help others who might have difficulty navigating the screens.
