For your reading pleasure:
If we purchase a travel package before August 1st, will we be able to upgrade or downgrade it after August 1st, as we've been able to so far?
What will be the point value that Marriott Cat 1-5 5-night certificates (from hotel+air package) are exchanged to after 1 August? Will this be announced before August 1st? Will those newly added points count towards LT Status ?
If I get a travel package now, it sounds like the certificate will be converted back to points if I had not used the certificates by August 1st. Is that correct? Can members buy a package pre August 1 and use it in 2019?
Could you further clarify this new update on the refund of the Marriott Travel Package Cert, as to how the refund points are calculated?
I have a 7-night category 1-5 Marriott certificate from the travel package. Are you saying I will receive 150,000 Marriott points for it, to use for anything I want?
We are currently reviewing how to handle existing travel package awards already in members' accounts and will have a definitive answer in the coming weeks. Members should make every effort to book and attach these certificates prior to our programs becoming one to to maximize their usage.
