This sucks because now I won't have enough points before the trip and we just bought our airline tickets. I am going to have to switch to the Marriott Waikiki for the whole trip. :-(
And the Cat 4 certs I was planning on using at the CY Waikiki from a megabonus promo that I will get from a trip next week are useless.

Maggie,
It actually is true, let me explain what happens - the hotel pulls the correct number of points based upon their category on they date you check-in, Marriott Rewards will add the difference in point value to your acccount so the actual number of points you spent are based upon the hotels category on date of reservation
Hope this helps clear things up
