The Offer
- Marriott is offering double elite night credits and a bonus 1,000 points per night on stays from February 7 – April 23, 2023. Must register by April 9,
Our Verdict
Slightly better than the IHG deal. Will stack with other Marriott deals, such as:
How do we maximize this promo? Do I book 7 different reservations if I plan to stay at the same hotel for 7 nights?
Consecutive works. Just can’t have 2 reservations simultaneously.
If you hold the Brilliant and Buisness cards, then you only need 5 nights during this promotion to hit the 50 night threshold and be eligible for choice benefit. Not too shabby.
A Town Place near me has $75 rooms, hmmmm
any idea finding a cheap hotel for mattress run?
I currently have two active promotions on my account: This one, plus a separate for double elite credits. Will they stack for triple elite credits?
I already had stays during this time. I just registered. Do I need to rebook my stays to earn the bonus?
No
Getting error when registering for promotion. Works for P2, however. Only difference in accounts is that my account is linked to corporate travel portal (concur).
Weird because this promotion page does not indicate its targeted: https://help.marriott.com/s/article/Article-34584
Worked for me but not for P2 initially. P2 then changed promotion preference in Bonvoy from miles to points. Then logged out, waited several minutes, the re-logged into Bonvoy and promo appeared.
Does this bonus apply if you book nights with free night certificates?
Unfortunately not, says so in terms.
Think this is targeted. I receive this message:
“A Note About This Promotion
We’re sorry, but there was an error in directing you to this promotion.
The reason for this error could be:
You’re trying to access a miles promotion and are a points-earner, or vice versa
You are not eligible for this promotion
This promotion has expired”
I tried a direct link to the offer and it didn’t work. On a second attempt, I just went to Marriott.com, logged in, went to the Promotions tab, and saw the offer there.
Pretty sure this is indeed targeted. The link doesn’t work for me and there’s no offer in my promotions tab in the app or online at marriott.com
Wondering if it’s just slowly rolling out to all members or actually targeted
No, it’s just that Marriott always has problems with certain random customers not able to register for a promotion online, so you have to call in to register if you’re not able to register online. For some unknown reason, this problem has been going on for well over a decade (ie, dating back to long before their merger with SPG), and usually happening to different people in every promotion.
I called in and they were able to add it to my account using promo code ET23
No, I don’t think it’s targeted. See my response to another post just below; This is a famous problem that Marriott has with every public promotion not working online everyone. It has been happening to random people since longer before their merger with SPG. Usually if you take the time to call in they can register you over the phone, if you can’t register online.
The promotion’s terms exclude stays at Marriott Homes & Villas, so it doesn’t seem like it will stack with the Homes & Villas Amex Offer.
It says “completed between February 7, 2023” So if I check in on Feb 6 and check out on Feb 7, would I be eligible?
only nights starting the night of 2/7 count
