As a long time MR member I have watched with a bemused and mostly chagrined expression with a MegaBonus offer is put in my account. As I have absolutely no idea how the targetting works. For example Q1 2014 I have to stay 30 nights in 3 months to get a bonus. Looking back at my history I rarely if EVER stay that much.
The trend I see is that a bonus is always just slightly out of reach. Why is that? I mean a bonus is something you get for what you do. A challenge is something you have to stretch for.
I would suggest to MR that they create two new categories.
MRBonus - for people who stay a lot to acknowledge that we are loyal. Note Platinum check points is nice but not what I am talking about.
MRChallenge - the current MegaBonus program that is a challenge to get the nights not a bonus for your loyalty.
