All the best.
I am happy to share my limited insights with someone who appreciates it.
Much of the value in NC7 certificates is the ability to use them at any hotel booked this year. Hopefully, you will be able to use your certificate before your preferred Cat 7 hotel becomes a Cat 8 hotel. If you can't book something that works for you, you might try downgrading your certificate instead of cancelling it. Considering the delays in making NC7 certificates available, a friendly CSR might be willing to let you convert your Tier 4-5 certificate to a Cat 6 and 150K in points.
