Conclusion
The bonus elite qualifying nights just posted to member accounts, and Sebastian wrote a piece about it (access here).
It is challenging not to reach Platinum or Titanium status in 2021 for those having one of these last year due to the current offers. Also, Marriott lowered the Ambassador qualifying spend requirement from $20K to $14K, but only for this year,
An excellent offer that I will combine with the weekend bonus offer that was targeted for my account.

Does it count if you check in on 14th and checkout on 20th of February?
Tried to register but this promotion is not available for me??
I’m a long time Bonvoy Titanium member.
Anybody knows why this could happen?
Ditto
Same here. 99.9% Marriott IT issue again
Same for me
Spoke to Marriott Bonvoy Customer Care and they are Investigation the issue.Will update when news is available.
In the meantime Marriott Bonvoy Customer Care registered me manually. My account is in points so that was not the issue.
Problem solved.
yea same can’t register, error msg:
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
Same here but thought it’s because I’m in Asia
Currently matched to Platinum on a 90 days challenge with 15 nights required. Does the current double elite night promo stacks? Which means 8 stays will get u platinum status. If yes, definitely a steal!!
Do points+cash count as qualifying rates?
Alex did you get an answer to this?
It looks like as long as one night is paid that you get the promotion.
Hi Sam. I did not get an reply to this. When you day at least one night paid, does it mean that cash+points also qualify? I’m confused.
I think so! I have a couple cash plus points stays in April so I am hoping to find our for sure before that!! I will also ask again.
5 days later and still having the same issue. Called customer service and they said the status of the promotion is “pending”, after someone manually registered for me. Still not seeing it in my promo dashboard.
Can anyone confirm if Cash plus Points qualifies for this promotion. If you book one night on points and pay for the other night it should trigger the promotion correct?
I spoke to a Bonvoy associate on the phone and she assured me a paid night and a point night together would receive 4 total Nights on this promotion but just double points on the paid nights room rate. I sent an email to confirm and after getting nowhere got this….
“When a member has one paid night and one night using points, they only receive the double night and points for the paid night only. You would receive a total of three nights.
The night that earn double points and nights are qualified paid rates only. The redemption nights do not apply. and are not eligible. I hope this clears things up.”
So the stays I have in Nashville will not get the 8 nights I thought and what the verbiage eludes to. I would only get 6 nights since I am paying for 2 nights and using points for 2 nights.
Here is a question I couldn’t confirm anywhere: If I book a 3 nights stay checking in on Apr 26th and checking out on 29th, will I get double nights/points only for 26 and 27 or do I get double on 28 as well since they are part of the same stay?
usually u need to check out on 27th
