Nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for bonus points.

Finer print:
*A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity.

Registration is required. Marriott Rewards, Starwood Preferred Guest, and The Ritz-Carlton Rewards (Loyalty Program) members who register for this promotion by January 7, 2019 will earn 2,000 bonus points per stay on stays of 2 or more nights at participating brands. Plus, members can earn an additional 1,000 bonus points per brand starting with the second brand at which the member stays during the promotion earning period. The promotion earning period is for stays between September 26, 2018 and January 31, 2019, at participating Marriott Rewards, SPG and Ritz-Carlton properties. A 'stay' is defined as consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, regardless of check-in/check-out activity. Rooms booked through most third party online retailers and select travel agency bookings are ineligible to earn for this promotion. The member receiving this offer has been targeted and the offer is not transferable. Bonus points will be awarded to the members account up to six weeks after the promotion ends. Marriott Vacation Club owner-occupied weeks are not eligible for bonus points and nights spent while redeeming an award are not eligible for bonus points. Only one room per hotel is counted toward a members nights or stay. Members electing to earn miles are not eligible for this promotion. For a list of current participating brands, visit https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/earn/hotels.mi. All Loyalty Program terms and conditions apply. See https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/terms/default.mi for more information. Visit www.Marriott.com/MorePlaces or call 888-MARRIOTT (888-627-7468) for complete details.

Clarification from Starwood Lurker in post 125:
  1. In regards to the part of the offer where you can earn 1,000 points for trying a new brandThere 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.
  2. You earn on every stay of 2+ nights, so it isnt 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.

My 2,000 points have been posting with the "extra points", not a separate entry.
As someone else mentioned, more difficult to keep track that way....

I've tried http://28ways.marriott.com and https://27ways.marriott.com. So far no luck. I wonder what the final web site will be.

You had no luck because you forgot the /coming-soon suffix. Pretty sure the website will be https://29ways.marriott.com/coming-soon until 11/2. Then it will change to its final iteration: https://29ways.marriott.com/thanks-for-playing.

This merger is a mess. The promotion has grabbed lukewarm interest at best. And the contest - a complete fail.

Had a little time on my hand and was sitting at the computer following the countdown, 00 00 03 seconds, 00 00 02 seconds, 00 00 01 second... SYCH - "coming soon, loser"

<End Rant>

#1 . this promo sucks

#2 : I had (2) 1 night stays this week - points have posted in the activity, but my promotions section isn't showing anything.

Anyone else seeing a delay in the promo pts posting or even registering in the promo section?

Since you had 1 night stays, I assume you are asking about the brands promo. Others have said that when Marriott has brands promos, they usually post in one lump sum at the end of the promo.

I called *wood CSR and she said the points are awarded by the hotel. So apparently the Brooklyn Sheraton NYC is not aware of "edge stay" as described by William. Or is it possible William was misinformed :O

She opened a case/email to Brooklyn Sheraton.

The points are awarded by the hotel but the system is programmed by HQ, right?

I can't seem to see or register for the mega bonus promo. Am a Lifetime Plat Prem Elite, if it makes a difference. I log into the MR account and click 'Promotions' and shows up with a big fat 0.
First time I can remember that a mega bonus is not across for all members?
had the same issue...finally called and it took about 5 mins to get through the IVR and to a rep who registered me immediately.
