Marriott Concierge-
Would you please clarify the following:
So you can't book a Euro Hopper award now, then make reservations for Europe hotels after Jan. 15 when they are category 8 properties?
You have to have the Hopper award before Jan. 15 and the reservations confirmed before the change to a category 8 property?
Thanks!
I think you understand this correctly.
For clarity I will give you an example.
If you want to use your hopper reward at the Paris Champs Elysees next year, (it will be a category 8) you need to book your stay prior to the change. If you book your stay prior to the change, then after the 15th of January change your dates or decide to stay at a different category 8 hotel, you will need to order the new rewards. However, if you wanted to use the hopper for the Paris hotel La Defense Renaissance, or the Hotel Le Parc – Trocadero Paris, you could use the hopper without making your reservation before January 15 (because they will not be category 8 Properties).
*Edit* I have looked into this further. If you order a European Hooper reward prior to the change you will be able to use it at
any European property regardless of when you book. As long as the expiration date has not expired on the reward and the stay is booked for reward redemption you will be able to use it. This includes all the properties that will become category 8. *End Edit*
