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.

50 points here as well. The part I'm not seeing anyone comment on, forgive me if redundant, is the sweetening of the MegaBonus.
It looks like you can now earn an additional 10K if you stay at 10 brands and then there was another larger bonus for staying at all 29 brands (sorry I though this would already be documented so I forgot...plus how many people will really hit all 29).

Actually, there is a master thread on this one, with a wiki to boot.
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...an-2019-a.html

Which as others have noticed, is live! Wow...
I ran through all of our employees' accounts and every one of them got 50 points. NONE of them have seen the 50 points post yet. For some reason I have a feeling seeing these points not posting will become fodder for another thread.
BTW, they've updated the T&C to show 8 Nov as the last day of the sweepstakes.

So, I tried to play. Doesn't work in IE. Switch to Firefox - all I do is click on the "cards" but don't see anything.
Anyway, clicked enough times and answered questions to "win":
Yeah, but what's with the "*"? Scroll down to:
Verification of what?

Also, does anybody else think it's lame that the Grand Prize winner will only get the $7,000 cash if they live in the US? What about other nations' residents who are eligible to play? Why shortchange foreigners?

Matched OK, got the answers wrong. 50 pts. Eh, considering I just found out about this today, a week after it had started so I actually didn't miss anything, I can't really complain.

29 Ways Sweepstakes
LMFAO!!! Well, I guess before I rant maybe it is just me? A hell of a time trying to sign in to this........finally worked in some cluster $# way - couldn't choose any cards....Closed down the screen and can't for the life of me sign back in. Keeps saying ERROR!
Maybe somebody else is having luck or figured this out? OMG.........I'm not computer wiz by any means - not even close but I have never seen the likes!
I just tried again and I finally got to the card game......Day 1 is W Hotels.....it says pick matching cards and nothing happens when I click on a card? Maybe I don't know how to play?
I changed browsers and that seemed to work! Woo Hoo ..........won 50 points ....technically 16.66 points.
