From official Marriott communications:

If you currently have a Travel Package Certificate that’s not yet attached to a hotel reservation, you have the following options:
- If you know when you want to travel, make a new reservation or attach your certificate to an existing one prior to August 18, 2018.
- If you are still trying to plan that perfect trip, you can hold onto the certificate and will be able to ADD it to a reservation starting September 18, 2018."


In this communication, where does it say that there will be a "conversion" of your certificate? You will be able to ADD your old certificate to a reservation based on the new chart and with similar value. A 270K point certificate is not similar in value to new 360K point reservation.

Time to forget about what category certificate you had. The point value of your certificate is all that matters going forward.
