Hi all,

I am finding this quite confusing and hope that this is the right thread to add this post, but my search skills don't seem up to it.

I would like to use my Cat 1-5 cert at the JW Marriott Hangzhou. I would also like lounge access and internet access (I am only a Silver now) so am happy to use points to upgrade that. I can't seem to find that scenario on the website. I can find a way to upgrade from a points reservation only.

Marriott Rewards Upgrade, eCertificate plus 500 CNY required daily

Rewards Redemption Available Extra hotel charges (meals,etc.) will be added to your credit card.
Additional Information

Upgrade Information
This Rate Requires Additional Money Per Night. For detailed
information regarding property category level and other
Marriott Reward information, please visit the property online
at www.marriott.com and click on Marriott Rewards.
I can't find a way to upgrade a cert with points, but is this even possible? If it is, would I still have to pay the 500 CNY (about USD 80)? That won't happen and I might look for a different hotel and save the cert for a while.

Thanks

Dr. PITUK
