After reading the last few pages of this thread, I'm back and forth on deciding what to do with these 2 7-night certificates. Should I attach them to 2 random reservation? Or upgrade them to higher cat certificates? Any advice is appreciated.
While I have only just redeemed for a cat 6 cert, I think if you don't have a place in mind to use the certs then you're no better off attaching them to places you don't want to go. SPG Lurker has basically encouraged people to redeem their TP to effectively 'lock in' their reservations before the hotels they book change categories (assuming they move up). My guess is that most people looking to actually book something will have properties that will be moving up in price in the new program, not down.
