I had the same problem with the website, so I called MR customer service. I took the same offer for 25k points, which is valid through March 31st. I was also offered a "taste of elite" option where I could stay 12 nights at any Marriott property in the next three months and also retain Gold status. Since most of my travel is after May, I opted to use the points, but if you're traveling frequently in the next three months, this might be an attractive option.
