Marriott’s end of year promo is out. It’s called MegaBonus, because that seems to be the only promotion name Marriott can regularly remember. However it’s “the good kind” of MegaBonus, stay twice and earn a free night. Registration required.

• Register by November 30
  
• Stay twice between September 12 and January 15, 2018 to earn a free Category 1-5 night
  
• You’ll receive your free night within 5 days of the second stay posting, and it will expire 6 months from being awarded

You can only earn one free night with the promotion but once you earn if you ‘may’ receive an additional offer in your account a few days after the second qualifying stay posts. So far Marriott seems mum on what that offer might be.

Even though I don’t stay with Marriott often, I’ve found up with a handful of stays here and there. I have no current Marriott reservations booked, but still find it worth registering because two stays aren’t a lot and if any bookings come up I’ll never remember to register later.
