Thanks for all the input. I also love using the package which is why it's becoming hard to actually call for the 3 night Ritz certificate. I keep putting it off. But, don't you all find it hard to use all those certificates AND stay platinum. We probably don't travel as much as some and have some favorite hotels for family trips that (gasp!) aren't Marriotts. I think we will save the points though since I got such a great rate through Amex.
