Marriott's New MegaBonus: One Free Night After Two Stays

Marriott's recurring MegaBonus promotions have been perennial favorites among both leisure and business travelers. This latest iteration shows why.

Offer Details

Between September 15, 2011, and January 15, 2012, Marriott Rewards members can earn one free night at a Category 1 - 4 hotel after two stays charged to a Visa card at participating JW Marriott, EDITION, Autograph Collection, Renaissance, Marriott, Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield Inn & Suites, SpringHill Suites, Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Marriott Vacation Club, and Ritz-Carlton hotels.

A maximum of two free nights may be earned, after four qualifying stays. Free nights may be taken between September 15, 2011, and May 31, 2012.

Registration is required, by October 31.

(As usual with Marriott promotions, different offers may be targeted to specific program members.)

Deal or No Deal

A free night after two stays is potentially a highly lucrative offer, depending on the length of the qualifying stays and the room rates paid for them.

Marriott's network of 3,400 hotels and multiple brands make it easy to find a participating hotel, at a suitable price point, in most locations.

The promotion will be in place for a full four months, giving even infrequent travelers plenty of time to qualify.

There's also plenty of time to consume the free nights, making the reward an eminently usable one.

If a free night resonates, and two hotel stays are in your travel plans, this offer should make Marriott a strong contender for your business.

I love the free nights but the "pay with Visa" makes it harder. I travel all the time for business and am required to use my Amex. Unfortunately this requirement push me to go for another chain if they have bonus.

I know you said different offers for different members, but some people may receive an offer looking like this one, but with quite different dates. My version of this is register by Aug 31, and two stays between July 1 and Sept 30 to receive the free night. Pretty restrictive when it was announced in August, and I was notified today.

Also their systems seem a bit messed up. It's labelled "welcome back" and says they've missed me, but I stayed at a Residence Inn for 8 days last month.
