Look like a great offer to do Marriott in style. Combine this with the fact that Marriott MegaBonus offers a free night category 1-4 certificate with two stays by April 30 (registration by March 31 required) and there is a good reason to stay and pay with Visa in April.

I have noticed in recent big prize hotel promotions that cash is a prize component to offset taxes if you don’t blow the $5,000 on something else first.
