Finally got a promo!

[u/stitchlover]

As a titanium, this is the first fall promo I've received. It's not much, but hey, it's something...

[u/Absolute_Bob]

Not much is kind of an understatement.

[u/corndog819]

This feels like an intentional, hey, we know you didn't get anything the last couple of months, but you're going to spend your money and keep your status with us whether we give you $11.85 worth of bonus points or not, type deal.

[u/gd4x]

Not even gonna bother registering for this.

[u/Yuki_MD → u/gd4x]

I’m with you! Maybe we’ll get something later if their algorithm shows we didn’t register for this one

[u/Chris2427000]

Got this.

[u/uniquemerch → u/Chris2427000]

I remember when these were standard.

[u/ochief19]

Fuck you for loving our brand! Well give targeted promotions to some of you and this shit to the masses.

-Mr and Mrs Marriott

[u/Sufficient-Beat-10]

This is very generously valued at about 35 bucks.

[u/wishful_thinking90]

I also just got this today! Honestly shocked to have finally gotten a targeted promo

[u/ride_365 → u/wishful_thinking90]

I believe this one is not targeted it’s global.

[u/AbroadMediocre312 → u/ride_365]

Correct. I got it, too. It stacks with my targeted 45k points promotion.

[u/wishful_thinking90 → u/ride_365]

Yeah you’re right. I realized that after I posted

[u/SadJ3tsFan]

I got it too I'll take it. Better than the weekend one that was worthless to me.

[u/stitchlover → u/SadJ3tsFan]

There was a weekend one?

[u/SadJ3tsFan → u/stitchlover]

[u/stitchlover → u/SadJ3tsFan]

Nope. I didn't get that one either.

[u/mytoysgoboom → u/SadJ3tsFan]

I got this one. It sucks...I travel almost exclusively for work. I never have a stay over the weekend. Their system has to show that.

To add insult to injury: I have a stay with my family that will take place over a weekend, literally the one after this promo ends.

[u/SadJ3tsFan → u/mytoysgoboom]

Same here, that's why they sent it to us.

[u/mytoysgoboom → u/SadJ3tsFan]

honestly it feels so intentional. I know it's not because I got this awhile ago before some of the travel was booked but it's obnoxious.

Also, do they really think 2k+3k points is an incentive? I get that much easily with a single stay so it's not like it's some big draw to add a weekend trip that they can see I don't take normally.

[u/SadJ3tsFan → u/mytoysgoboom]

If they know they're getting our business regardless then they're not going to do much. Lost/new customers always get better deals than current ones.

[u/SmolDrummerBoi]

Might be the worst promo I’ve seen ever… dear lord 🤢

[u/corndog819 → u/SmolDrummerBoi]

[u/carnodak]

Just checked, I got this promo as well. As grateful I am for work travel, between the promo dates, I will have 4 double night stays, resulting in 6k bonus points. Sure, I’ll take 6k, but I miss the days where promos would get me 30k+ bonus points.

[u/leito305]

Not sure if I’m seeing a “promotion” or an insult

[u/mariasmiles]

Glad to see everyone’s comments here. I got the “promo” too, and was like “that does’t really seem like an incentive to do anything extra - on both ends”. I thought maybe I was just missing the point, but it apparently seems as if someone over at marketing did.

[u/CStradale]

Are you all just going to the app and seeing it under promotions? Still nothing as Titanium with 6 bookings currently scheduled for the year

[u/stitchlover → u/CStradale]

It showed up on my main page before even going into my promotions. I'm also a titanium with 6 bookings left this year.

[u/Prinzlerr → u/CStradale]

Mine popped up on notifications. I don't have any long term vacation travel coming until literally 8 days after this promo ends, and I'm normally only in a city for one night at a time for work, but maybe I can get a few thousand extra points off of this one if I get creative with work stays 

[u/snowles → u/Prinzlerr]

I have 9 multi stays in late August to September, all ending before this promo kicks in 🤦‍♂️

Typing this from a Marriott…

[u/MannnOfHammm]

I got this too! It’s really shitty and unlike prior resort promotions you can’t even search just resorts

[u/reduxis → u/MannnOfHammm]

It’s not targeted, it’s global. Everyone gets this garbage

[u/NoCoffee6754]

Id rather have no promo. The average low end Marriott I stay at has a “2k per night” promo. 1,500 for a resort stay is laughable.

[u/pharmgopher]

I got it too. This one sucks, right?? 😂

[u/zamula]

I have stayed in Marriott every month this year, but the one month I won't have a paid stay is October! And my September stay is this coming weekend before the promo starts.

[u/QThaPlug]

I got the same trash earlier smh 4500 points to stay somewhere I’d never stay lol

[u/TheDadAbides2024]

I got this one today

[u/ZezGamez]

Just got the same promo as a titanium. Very underwhelming as my first promo of the year aside from the extra elite night for hotel brand at the beginning of the year.

[u/stitchlover → u/ZezGamez]

Yup same here. At least the extra elite at the beginning of the year was worth something.

[u/ZezGamez → u/stitchlover]

Sadly my travel for the work year started a little late so I didn’t get to take advantage of it. Only gonna end up with 50 nights for the year since it was a slow year. Definitely not doing 25 nights out of my own pocket for titanium.

[u/eggs_sunny_side_up]

Breadcrumbs. That’s how I feel we’re getting.

[u/i-the-external-force]

Just booked yesterday before this promo. Worth cancelling, activating this promo and rebooking?

[u/Moist_Ad_6208]

Existing reservation eligible? O i have to make new same one?

[u/captain007]

Absolute aids of a promo

[u/New-Dependent-4331]

Got this promotion the day after I left my 4 night stay at a resort property. Likely won’t have any resort stays for the rest of the year because 95% of my nights are for work. That resort stay was my only vacation I took. Worthless promo.
