Deals We Like - Marriott’s Summer MegaBonus

Marriott's Summer MegaBonus promotion just started yesterday and will run from May 15 through September 2, 2013. While Marriott is calling this promotion the "Unexpected Bonus," it is really the same exact promotion that they run about 3 times a year for the past many many many years. With all MegaBonus promotions, each individual is targeted for a different promotion depending on their stay pattern. In the past, members were able to call Marriott and get moved to another promotion, but unfortunately they have stopped this practice and the promotion you are targeted for is the only one you can progress towards.

Registration is required by July 31, 2013. If it takes you to "Session Timed Out" page, make sure to sign into your Marriott account and re-click on the registration link.

I personally was targeted for the stay twice, earn a category 1-5 certificate which I was pleased about. With the recent massive category changes the category 1-4 certificates are getting to be close to useless and devalues this particular promotion.

Even with the recent category changes, the other hotel summer promotions are sub-part, so this might be an enticing promotion (especially if you can get the free cat 1-5 night after two stays). I also like that they started extending the expiration date to 1 year for the certificates. Since I won't be traveling much this summer, I'll probably have two different stays which will still get me a free 1-5 cat certificate.
