Obviously no one knows how they'll handle the certs this time, but I can tell you I had no problem getting my cert from the last megabonus promo extended 12 months, and I made that call based on the thread where numerous others reported the same result.
Unlike Hyatt, Marriott is not at war with its customers. That's the biggest change I've noticed switching primary programs this year.
