unavailable for me also (plat). there is a link at the bottom however after i login to marriott.com that says "Power up with 10,000 bonus points. Elite members must register by June 30, 2008." I click on it and i get the unavailable message... called cust serv and she was not able to register me so she put a note on my account and they will credit it manually after the promotion ends. so maybe it was targeted after all and i wasn't picked, but i got a nice rep on the phone?

The second night counts as a different stay if you check out and go to a different Marriott hotel. It can be a different Marriott in the same city, but it can't be the same hotel. Consecutive nights at the same hotel count as a single stay, even if you check out and check back in each day. But if you switch hotels, it's different stays.

I only have two trips on my schedule during the promotion period where I could easily take advantage of it. Both are for 3-4 nights. So I'm planning on hopping around between a FS Marriott, Courtyard, and SpringHill that are all very close to each other. It's a bit of a hassle, but for 20,000 points, I'll do it. And I might even be able to get another week during that period where I'm staying with Marriott and get the max of 30,000 points on my promo.

I received an e-mail today with the 9x30 offer. I saw the promotion mentioned here and had already registered before I received the e-mail.

Oh and the scooter horn sound on the screen that the promotion link takes you to - funny - but as I wasn't prepared for sound from an MR screen. Perfect time for my office to be dead quiet.

Signed up when I read this thread, but just received the email this afternoon. 9x30k... of course, my travel dies off in July during planning and forecasting season. Sigh.

Cheers,

Got the 9x30 offer... even better than the 50K mega bonus IMHO

THat's what I got. Wonder what separates the 30's from the 10's?

Frustrated at not being able to register for this online, I called the Platinum desk and she said she registered me for the 3 stays 10K up to 30K.

Participation in the Power Up promotion is limited to Marriott Rewards Elite members solicited for this promotion. A list of current promotions open to all Rewards members is available here.

Grrrr... I will give them a call in the morning instead!

I see the link to register when I'm logged in but when I try to register, it says unavailable. Why does the link to register even show up on my account if I'm not targeted? I'll try calling later.

Got mine via snail mail postcard. Glad to hear that a stay at a different Marriott in the same city counts!

I believe they mean that 9 nights to reach 30K is more attainable for them than 25 nights to reach 50K...50K is not better if you cannot achieve it.
