My marriott numbers will be climbing soon, as I switched megabonus promos, so my double points won't post until after the promo is over since I need to contact marriott to get it to post correctly. 

 


Regarding the Marriott Megabonus, how do I signup? I'm currently a Ritz/Marriott member, and have a ton of upcoming stays in November. I'd love to earn 2X the points ontop of my current Ritz earning rate.
Thanks!

Amex = 118k MR's

Chase UR's = 90k

HHonors = 50k

Delta = 40k

 

Mainly sign-up up bonuses obviously mixed in with some spend.  Before year is over Amex MR's will be closer to 175k approx after adding the PRG for anoter 50k and hopefully have the Ritz 140k+3k for spend so 143k marriott.. We shall see if that promo comes back though

Your promo should already have been chosen. You normally need to change the promo before it starts, but you might still be able to call up and change it. If you log into your marriott account, and go to promo central you should see any promos you're elligible for.

Re: How many points do you have? How'd you earn em? =]

only been in the points/cards game seriously since May.

 

have roughly 90k MR points, 85k IHG points, and 24k AGR points.

 

We have around $200 in discover cash back and will be using those for car rentals. Hoping the $50 shell gift cards for $25 come back, but with all this double cash back promo and apple pay promo stuff, I would laugh till I cried. That would make Discover the bests card in history in my book (at least for their efforts).

Re: How many points do you have? How'd you earn em? =]

Well, I've just started the points game a couple of months ago.  Currently I have three points cards and they are all hotel cards.

 

IHG - 121,542 points.  I'm now a Spire Elite member.  I got these from signing up for the CC and staying one time for $80 during the fall promo.  Then once the 80k points hit and I got the Spire level that was good for 25k more points.  Pretty happy with my results on this card so far. The bonus points are not supposed to count towards Spire but there was an issue with them posting points and when they finally got them they counted.  Many thanks to them as that was worth another 25k!

 

Wyndham - 57,400 or so.  Credit card signup and one stay netting me bonus points here too.   I am using 6,000 points this weekend on a two night stay and that 6k is saving my $183 over not using points at all.  I feel that is a pretty good use of my points!  I have 15k more coming that have not yet posted.

 

Hyatt - 6,600  Signing up my daughter as an AU and meeting my spend requirements.  Also got two free nights to use here in the next year from the sign up.

I only go to a few conferences a year, so not really.

 

I have a pretty high level of annual spend (for personal cards), plus sign-up bonuses
