I hold a Tier 1-3/P830. My options are to call and downgrade to a QP83/Cat 6 and get 45k refund? Or call and attempt an upgrade, anyone know point difference there? Lastly I take it there are no confirmed reports of someone successfully using the old cert post merger for it original value?
Tier 1-3 is NOT a P830. P830 is an OC5/NC4. If you have a Tier1-3 cert (we do not have the code for that so if you could check your email confirmation and provide it that would be helpful) which I think should have a 195k points value and can be convert to an NC6 category you could exchange to a QP99/NC6 cert for 165k and get a 30k points refund - Marriott has stated that this is allowed. Or, you could try to upgrade to a NC7 which should cost 30k points but no one knows the code for that cert so it might not be possible. You could also try to exchange for a lower cat cert for a bigger points refund although this is not officially allowed it should be possible with the right agent. Or, you could cancel and refund the certs 195k points value.
