 Marriott Rewards is making it easier to earn 
			  elite status by staying at any of Marriott Rewards 3,000 
			  participating hotels for as few as five nights during a recently 
			  launched Double Nights promotion. Through June 26, 2009, members who 
			  register for the promotion will receive two nights for every one 
			  night they stay, making it faster than ever to reach elite member 
			  status. Marriott Rewards has three elite levels – Silver 
			  (10 nights), Gold (50 nights) and Platinum (75 nights). All elite 
			  members earn bonus points during their stays and have exclusive 
			  elite bonuses, an elite reservation line, priority late checkout, 
			  ultimate reservation guarantees and discounts at the hotels’ 
			  retail stores. Marriott Rewards also recently launched Elite 
			  Rollover Nights. Members who exceed the minimum number of elite 
			  nights needed to renew or achieve elite status may now roll over 
			  the extra nights into 2010. Members need not do anything. Extra 
			  nights at the end of 2009 will automatically be transferred into 
			  the member’s 2010 account. Marriott Rewards is free to join and points can 
			  be redeemed for hotel stays, frequent flyer miles, cruises, car 
			  rentals, brand-name merchandise and more.
