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 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.
- 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.

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"

Close but I think you mean https://29ways.marriott.com/thanks-for-playing-suckers
There should probably be a Dilbert panel about this: The promotion was probably late because the merge was already rushed. Then they probably felt they had to have a promotion when IT was busy fixing the bugs from the rushed job.

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.

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

Is this mega bonus promo and 29 ways promo targeted to certain members?
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?
