Or if you have 2 Marriotts close-by, check-in and out every night and do it in 9 days, which for me is only 3 weeks

Not unless you are doing city hops during a week. Like a night here, a night there. One can easily do 3 or more stays in a week.

For those members that had to talk to Customer Support to manually register for this promotion, does the promotion now appear in the Promotions in Progress list? The CSR rep manually registered me for the 2.5K/2/10 promotion but I still do not see it in my profile.

what has been the SOP in the past for stays that begin prior to the start of the promo but lapse into the promo period, do these count as stay credits toward the promo

I can see the registration link when I log in to my account but when I click to register, it says unavailable. I called and the CSR said I wasn't targeted and couldn't be manually added. I'll try calling again but was wondering if any other Plats are being turned down by customer service.

Dont forget...registration must be COMPLETED BY june 30, IIRC. This is one of the first times I remember MR requiring reg BEFORE the end of the promo.


Or...you could do as I (PP) and take some business AWAY so they understand you DO HAVE A CHOICE!

That may have been the idea.
