If they start posting today, I wouldn't expect things to start showing for at least the next several hours. And I would be surprised if things were to have changed from Friday night to Monday early morning in this regard.
If things don't start posting (or mostly get completed) by this coming Friday at the latest, then I would be surprised.

I can't believe they cut it down to half. These really are my favorite points to buy.

I got a bunch of points posted, too, but I wanted to "audit" them because I was able to snag 7 of the 8 available packages. Over the years, I've had a few problems with Choice crediting me all my purchased miles.
I don't immediately see a way to do this audit, however. Will it eventually show up under "my activity"? In the past, I recall an option to see "my statements." Is that gone?

Fairmont 6 night stay $2178
Re: Fairmont 6 nights Hawaii for $2178
FedEx delivered my Fairmont Ovation Reward certificates today. I called the 800# and asked questions. Not that I planned on using them, but the certificates are not good during Monaco Grand Prix dates when rooms start @ 3549euro/night. Representative said they are some blackouts but not many.
I can use them for any Category A, B, or C hotel - it was advertized as 6 night vacation @ Fairmont Kea Lani (Maui, Hawaii) or Fairmont Orchid (The Big Island, Hawaii) both Category C. For $150/night I can upgrade to Category D - so The Plaza NYC , Raffles Seychelles, Le Royal Monceau Paris, The Savoy London are avail but with $150/night surcharge.
I haven't a clue when or where I'll use them but I love that they don't expire.

I figured out that my shortfall was: my daughter forgetting to click "2" on the offer she snagged for me. So I only got 6 of the 8 packages, not 7. If kids can't figure out this new-fangled technology, what are they good for?

Thanks -- it works! I wonder why I can't seem to find this info on their regular website (maybe it's well hidden, or maybe it's just "Choice being Choice."
