Floater certificates, including outstanding Marriott Travel Packages, will be cancelled and converted to equivalent points, credited to the member’s account for future redemption. <added by Starwood Lurker 18May18>

First confirmation I've seen about the travel packages converting to actual points and not points-equivalent cert of the same 7-night restriction so I'm very interested in the response to the above question from echino. Category 1-5 7-night certs have an assigned value of 45k points on the backend which is 6 nights at category 1 value (7.5k x 6) but clearly this is not what would be returned since that would go from being able to book 7 nights at Category 5 to being two nights at prior Category 5 overnight.
The lack of transparency with this is frustrating since I have two current travel packages and what's going to occur and when significantly impacts my travel plans.
