My cert was expiring Oct 22nd so I contacted MR to ask them to either convert it to points or extend it. They told me that they could probably extend it but you need to call within 5 days of the cert expiring for them to go through that process and even then it isn't a guarantee. Good to know that it was possible, but I just decided to go to NYC for the weekend instead.

Kinda wish I got the option between a night cert or 40,000 points, that would make my life much easier.
