Marriott Promotion: Stay Twice And Earn A Free Night!

Marriott announced their final worldwide promotion of the year last week.  It’s under their standard title of MegaBonus and it is, in fact, kind of Mega.  How Mega remains to be seen for just a bit longer.  But, more on that in a bit.

You can earn a free night at any Category 1-5 Marriott property after you complete two stays.

You’ll need to register for the promotion ahead of time.

The promotion period runs from September 12, 2017 until January 15, 2018, just like the SPG promo I wrote about recently.  I really like that they wrapped the promotion around the holidays into next year.  That’s usually a time of year where promotions aren’t available.

Unlike the SPG promotion, pretty much all Marriott hotels are eligible.  Here’s a list of participating brands.  I love that Marriott doesn’t make me hunt through pages and pages of lists to find out which properties are eligible for this promotion.

There’s also a hint that you may qualify for another offer after completing two stays.  I guess we’ll find out what those look like soon.

If you receive a second offer, please leave a comment below to help out other readers.

Once the free night posts to your account (usually within 5 days of completing your second stay) you’ll have 6 months to use it.

The Final Two Pennies

It always makes sense to register for hotel promos such as this.  It’s free to do so.  Even if you don’t have plans to stay at an SPG property right now, plans change.  Better to take 30 seconds and register now so you don’t miss out later.

If I was choosing, I would hit the Marriott promo before SPG.  From there, I’d see what I got for a second offer and decide which way to go from there.  Don’t forget that there are targeted SPG offers along with their systemwide-ish promo.

I’ll be covering the Hilton and IHG promos shortly as well.  Oh, and in case you wanted to read the entire T&C for the Marriott promo:
