I'm hoping they have one last promo for Super Bowl. I mean, how can you have an NFL-focused promo all season long and then ignore the grand finale?

Exactly. This is what I got as a DM on Twitter:

The limit was raised since there will be more opportunities to earn a higher amount of points going forward. It doesn't necessarily mean that it will be possible to earn the maximum per year. The goal was to set it high enough that no one will be cut off from participation.

This is a fairly clear indication that there will not in fact be an opportunity to actually earn 45,000 in a year.

However, this has still been an impressive promotion, and I hope it continues.

BTW, I am now sitting on my sea facing balcony at the Protea Edward in Durban (only a Cat. 1, but nice and superb value for 7,500 points), entirely paid for by tweeting. I also have enough from this promotion alone for a second Cat. 1 or 2 night, which I will probably use on my East Coast USA road trip in November.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with the team effort on this promo.

Or it could be a number they tossed out to draw attention to the promo & generate interest, while knowing they have no intention of ever providing enough opportunities to actually hit 45k.

I just booked two nights in a Cat-3 (on point saver) in Capetown for 20k points. Two years of tweeting is paying off! And they say there's no free lunch.

Fine by me. I would have participated regardless of the maximum number they used or marketed, and their Twitter promotions have been pretty generous.

This.

Marriott has been incredibly generous thus far. I just wish they did more of the daily tweets. Even the 25 pointers were fun.

1000 points once a week is awesome, but boring from an interactivity standpoint.

I completely agree. Between my wife and I we earned more points then I would ever expect to earn from interacting on Twitter. I’m just pointing out possible reasons for a 45k max, which likely won’t be achieved by anyone.

I’m just hoping these Twitter promos don’t disappear like those Facebook promos they had a few years ago.

January is over, and I still have not seen any promo from Marriott.

It would be a nice surprise if they did something for Super Bowl Sunday to end off the foot bowl season.

Ohh great.
Since I don’t Twitter, I rely on all the good people here to keep me informed.
So again thank you all.
