Same here, and that happens with my frequent flyer accounts as well.

No sign of any Twitter promos this week. Quick way of telling: checking @MarriottRewards' Twitter feed to see if they are dishing out any automated replies with hashtags.

thanks for the update

You are welcome. Come on Marriott, I'm addicted!

I see there are still thousands of useless automated #MRpoints tweets overnight. Don't these people ever check when a promotion expires?

Sorry to anyone who got a notification of a post in this thread and assumed there was a new points opportunity.

It's been too long since any new promos. Hope it's not over.

I have been searching every day, nothing new yet. I do not believe the program was cancelled, because they issued a press release about how successful it is, and they continue to test the chirpify program(look up #mrpointstest on twitter).

At first I thought the reason it was stalled was because the last hashtag accidentally reset of lot of points expiration dates. Then I thought maybe they were waiting until March. Clearly not.

I believe I have finally figured it out.

The Erin Andrews lawsuit against a Marriott hotel started a week or so ago. It is bad press for sure. With such a bad story lurking in social media during the trial, you don't want your brand trending, so they must have temporarily suspended the #mrpoints campaign to try and keep the stories about the lawsuit from trending. #marriott is not beneficial to them at the current moment.

I hope the trial ends soon and we can get back to our free points fun.

I'd never heard of it until you mentioned it, though I'm not in the US.

So I finally signed up for this thing. It appears I have already received 75 points, I am assuming 25 for registering and then 25 each for following MRpoints and Gaylord hotels. Looking back a couple of pages, it appears this is on hiatus for now so is everyone in a holding pattern for the time being? So I guess it is halfway encouraging that they are at least still issuing points for new sign ups. Maybe this means they are indeed just biding their time...

goldencondor

Yup!

YoungBubbie

Somehow I knew you would answer affirmatively.

I'm still waiting too for the next one. I'm hoping this isn't dead like the Facebook promo.

goldencondor

It'll be back. I am confident!
