Hmmmmm-strange timing on the end date.
I was going to do two two night stays over Labor day weekend=but this ends 8/31 so I do not think a stay with a check out date 0f 9/1 will count.
So It will be a four night say with three hotels( last night will be SPG)Fortunately this is simply a matter of criss crossing the street as the JW,the Marriott,and the Sheraton are within a block of each other

I think it will count bcs the stay will be posted on your account for the day you checked in, not the date you checked out.

I am a third of the way through it already. Staying at the cheapest possible properties to keep the $$/point ratio High.
I think this will be easy actually.

The T&Cs were silent on this
so am i correct that all rate codes are eligible for a stay to qualify?
specifically, I'm curious about NPR (Entertainment Book) or AAA or V12 (the $25 visa card offer)?
thx

The points from this promotion are posting as soon as you finish a required number of stays to earn points (i.e. 10,000 points post after 3 paid stays if your offer is 3/10/30).

I'm assume this was an attempt at sarcasm? If so, please put a smiley at the end of it next time so we know. 9 stays in 9 weeks is a piece of cake especially when there's 30k points to be had.

another UN-balanced Promotion
9 stays for 9 weeks is easy if you travel to a new hotel a couple of times a week.
Meh, I stay in the same hotel for 4 nights a week. That's one stay. I will stay approx 31 nights or more in the same 8-9 weeks that would take someone 9-14 nights to do and I may barely get the promotion.
Balance the promotions please so we do not have to switch hotels every other night, reward the loyalty. Please.

Quite honestly, I think Marriott IS being balanced.I am a big grump when it comes to changing hotels, especially for the last 6 months with a broken wrist. But if I am doing 4 nights a week, even I can manage to change hotels every other night for 3 1/2 weeks.....
