Clarification from Starwood Lurker in post 125:
- In regards to the part of the offer where you can earn 1,000 points for trying a new brand…There is no minimum length of stay, but you only earn it starting with the second brand. So if you only stay at one brand during the promo period, you will not earn this bonus. But if you stay at 2 or more brands, you will earn 1,000 points for each of those brands after the first one even if the stay is only one night.
- You earn on every stay of 2+ nights, so it isn’t about accumulating nights. If you have two stays of 1 night each, you will not earn a bonus. If you have two accounts, you may register for MegaBonus with either or both accounts. You will only be able to earn with one account at a time because you will earn the bonus points in whichever account the stay was booked with. Example: If you have two accounts that are not combined: If you register for MegaBonus with your SPG number and stay with your SPG number, you will earn the bonus points in your SPG account. If you register for MegaBonus with your SPG number but book your stay with your MR number, you will not earn bonus points.

As far as I can tell, you are eligible. What happens when you try to register?

I wouldn't necessarily read much into it. I am continually bombarded with adverts for the Marriott Luxury card on every single page and in every single format despite me clearly not being eligible.

exactly the same situation here. It appears on both apps. If Marrioty wanted to do a targeted promotion they should have done it discreetly and with private invotation links. Sadly I will have 10 x 2-3 night stays in 2018, which could have worked very well for me. On the other hand, great opportunity to pick some points in Hilton and IHG. No big loss here.

The promo and control group clearly about seeing if promos discourage staying, not increase, so clearly bean counters are looking to see if promos can be reduced without major effect in loyalists

I called in and they added my registration manually, or so they said. For those of you who have done this did you end up seeing the promo after in your account?

She said no email could be sent if not register on marriott.com and I was not in the mood of going further on a meh promotion, so I thanked her and hung up.
