Just wanted to report back. I called back in today after I met the requirement of my requested lower offer and the CRS credited my 20K points for 15 nights stay immediately.

Must be missing something?
Yes, you are, the free certs are limited to Cat 1-4 hotels. While that may work for some, it doesn't work for everybody. I rarely stay at anything less than a Category 6, and even then it is usually an airport hotel which might happen once a year, or possibly my once or twice a year business trip (most of my travel is leisure). So having a few of the Cat 4 or below certs does little for me. Points all the way for me. YMMV.
