I signed my wife up for this, and when she clicks the promotion on her account, it goes to an error page. She signed up in May and has 2 bookings lined up for August. Contacting CS was not very helpful; they just confirmed she’s registered for it (which could just mean they were looking at the main Promotions page, or their version of it), but did not address the error or confirm the end date. We’ll see what happens, I guess…
You must sign up for Marriott Bonvoy program using the specified link above. You cannot apply it for an existing account.
That’s what she did, sign up for the account using a promotional link. The promotion shows up on her account, but she can’t see the details to confirm the end date. She gets:
“We’re sorry, but there was an error in directing you to this promotion.
The reason for this error could be:
You’re trying to access a miles promotion and are a points-earner, or vice versa
You are not eligible for this promotion
This promotion has expired
Updating your earning preference is fast and easy; simply sign into your account. For all other issues, please contact Marriott Bonvoy Customer Support”
Note how “everything may be fine” is absent there. Like I said, CS sees it on her account, but I haven’t been able to confirm that everything’s okay with the promotion, and we seemingly just have to wait until those stays are completed to find out.
High,
I have the same problem with the new account for my wife.
She signed up with the promotional link and got her membership number and the Promo free night certificate sign up succesfully e-mail.
But as with you, when clicking to the promotion in the account section, she git the same error massage as you.
Do you can tell me if your stays in August counted well and you have received the free night.
Thank you for your answer
Cheers

Yes they did! As soon as the 2nd stay posted, she got an eCert that expires 1 year after that stay ended.
Thank you very much George for your answer.
I am happy now
Cheers
