Hi Lurker, What are the marriott and ritz free nights certs converting to? Points? I cant find anything about this and am curious why less than 2 weeks before merger there hasnt been an announcement on this issue which undoubtedly affects many. Thanks
Starting in August, any outstanding Certificates will be updated from Category-based to points-based values in the new combined redemption chart and may be used for stays at Rewards or SPG hotels up to the points value displayed on your updated Certificate. For example, you will be able to apply a Marriott Rewards Free Night Certificate to an SPG stay, or an SPG Free Night Award to a Marriott Rewards stay. Ritz-Carlton Rewards Free Night Certificates can also be applied to Marriott Rewards and SPG hotels.
