New guy question re: Visa free night

Once the free night shows up in your account history like this:
05/06/09 34A VISA FREE NIGHT CATEGORY 4 0 pts
then what?

Wait for something in the mail?
Do I have to call CS to redeem it?
Or am I missing some way to redeem it online?

Thanks!

You can redeem online or via phone call to MR. If you make a reservation where the cert is usable, the system will try and pull that cert, or if you already have a reservation without a cert attached, you should be able to access the reservation online and tell it to use an existing cert.

If you aren't too familar with the online tool, a phone call may be your easiest option, but the online isn't too hard to figure out either (in most cases this is true, but once in while it really is easier and better to just call.)

Remember the certificate is only good for 6 months from the issue date.

Formerly we used to receive a paper certificate in the mail. Now it's all electronic. Just call Marriott and book the room (they will see the e-cert under your account).

Then if you go and look under your Marriott account at the reservation, it will state You have e-certificate(s) for this reservation..

Hope that helps.

I tried to redeem my Category 1-5 Free Night Certificate and I got to where a cert number is requested (which I don't have). I have it in my account but nothing on paper - what do I do guys ...............
