As others have said, while the cat 5 cert isn't great, hopefully what's unlocked is points for stays or nights. I heavily took advantage of the summer Mega Bonus and didn''t stay in the same hotel two nights in a row........ One week I got stuck on the road for 5 nights!!!
This promo aligns well with my upcoming travel - I have a 3 night trip starting next week where I need to check out on 9/12 and check in at a different Marriott later that day anyway. I should be able to report back on what's unlocked for me by the weekend (9/15 ish)
I also already have 23 nights over 9 stays booked through the third week in October.....I'm really hoping for a repeat of some version of the summer Mega Bonus to be unlocked!!!!
