But the problem is that if I need to attach it now, I need to purchase a category 6 package, correct? I know there are still unknowns but is conventional wisdom that I would receive 30K back after the merger? Or do I just lose any difference? I am not clear how to best do this.
Thanks!
Several members including me are in the same dilemma.
There seems to be a couple options here:
-redeem for a cat 1-5 TP, get a floating cert and attach it after the hotel changes to cat 4(25,000)
-redeem for cat 6, book the hotel and call back for a refund of MR points(30,000)
Which one will you choose? Does anyone know when will the new rate start? I appreciate any feedback form you all, thank you!
