Hmmmmm-instead of wasting the few dollars Marriott spent on this dunderheaded promotion perhaps they could have spent some $$$$ on training their staff on how to process EEO certs and other promotional items(the hertz promo for example)Just thinking out loud

I noticed it yesterday and played. Didn't win, but it takes more than a second to play so I wasn't planning on going back too many times.

Strange... I missed it because it doesn't come up in Firefox. I had to use a less saver alternative; Internet Explorer!!!

I wouldn't go so far as to call it dunderheaded. I can see what they're trying to a accomplish with this. But I did find participation a bit clunky and confusing....not to mention a few "underwhelming" prize choices.
But mostly I agree with Big Guy's observation that they'd be well-advised to fix some issues with existing promotions/offers before they launch any new stuff.

They should have launched something much easier and entertaining.. fun to play.
But then again Marriott would have been better off putting out a NEW promo. I have moved most of my stays over to Starwood.

Well they have started a spg type zoned program-2000 pts for select properties in the NE.Does nothing for me-but it is something!

Dumb, dumb, dumb. Got frusturated with it pretty quickly. Would have rather seen them use the investment toward a bonus points promotion.
