At least that's how I read "Starting in August, any outstanding Certificates will be updated from Category-based to points-based values in the new combined redemption chart".

Thoughts?
I read it as It can be "ANY" amount of points and they would be covered under the boldiing above --if they valued them at 17.5 or 25k-it would fulfill the t/c - I think they want to keep as much good will as they can -- but-- those they "have" ( marriotts who have the certicate -- are 2nd inline )--easy out is for them to value at 25k

if they gave 35k --based on new catogoreiesthe shared

Dubai has
starwood 5 staying 5 ===4 hotels
marriott 7 now a 5== 4 hotel
starwood 4 now a 5===1 hotel
NYC
starwood now 5 stay 5 ===2 hotels
marriott 8 now a 5 =2 hotels

to good to be true I hope I am wrong
