basically each paid stay gets 1000 extra points and 2 stay credits per night instead of one.
no bonus for any points/cash and points reservations.

Platinum: 3,180 points for $80 stay
Titanium: 3,380 points for $80 stay
Depending on how you value them, that's $20-$30 in points so I'm paying $30 for one elite night credit, or equivalent to $1500 for platinum elite. While I definitely wouldn't pay that straight up for one year of platinum, we already have some nights from our Bonvoy Amex cards and this is going to push us to lifetime platinum, which I REALLY want to do before they change the requirements due to perennial devaluation/"optimizing". We're not traveling as much and have the platinum benefits (in particular, free breakfast) locked in for life is huge for us.
For me, the real value is when you can stay 5 night to get that 5th night free.

The details didn't say - I can't imagine why they WOULDN'T but the Marriott Homes and Villas count towards yearly but not lifetime status.
Why wouldn't you? Went to Vegas for first time w/ large group in August 2020. Stayed at Caesars and Venetian for dirt cheap and everything much less crowded. Did Bahamas Feb 2021 for superbowl. Got a tip that all Atlantis towers were closed for renovation except Cove, but could still book cheap Coral tower online thru Bonvoy. Booked multiple nights at coral for under $200 per night and automatically upgraded to Cove at checkin (normally $600-$800 per night). Booked private cabana for superbowl pool party for $1.5K (split between 8 people) that costs $3.5K this year. They didn't care - just happy to have customers. Did Mexico in October. Back to Bahamas next month for SB.
If you're healthy and not in high risk group, the available data has never indicated much danger and most certainly doesn't today.
We did some before Omnicron hit (triple vax) but have slowed it back down - so have my friends in consulting (the power travelers). That's why this promo is actually super valuable for me and my spouse: we're both a year and a a hundred or so nights away from lifetime platinum but since neither of us travels much for work getting the 9th/10th year of platinum is challenging. With a vacation or two, our Amex card elite nights, and this promo, we should make it. I think we're literally going to book a cheap hotel outside of the city (we live in Texas so we're talking $80) - go check in and drive home lol. Between the 1000 points, double night, 500 point check in bonus, and normal 15 points per dollar for platinum (17.5 for me as Titanium) and 6 point per dollar for the Amex gives:
Platinum: 3,180 points for $80 stay
Titanium: 3,380 points for $80 stay

Nerdwallet says .7 cents, TPG says .8 cents - I find those to be about right. I came from SPG and while they definitely watered down the program a ton, adding in all the random little Marriotts has been good for us. For example, when I stay at a Springhill/Fairfield/Townplace/Residence Inn in the suburbs when visiting family in Texas I feel like I get around 1 cent per point (a $100 night after taxes is typically 10k points).

Hit or miss...I read an article about someone using the mobile check in w/o going to the hotel so as to keep up their rewards status.
The terms of this promo just show how terrible their program is. Why should it matter when you actually booked your hotel? It should only matter when you actually stay at the hotel. To make you cancel and rebook would be just silly.
