I believe that off peak and peak levels for many , most or all of the hotels some time in December. Two questions:

1. Is it likely that marriot will allow bookings at the peak free level for at least a few days after they announce the new award levels?

2. Can I book a few nights on points at current levels, and add free night certificates later? There are at least a couple of certificates that I am either due or anticipate receiving soon, which work at current levels and won’t work at peak levels.

Also , I have some 7 night certificates from the old travel packages. Travel is planned far in advance, but I might have to change the plans later due to serious personal or family health situations. If I have an additional points booking at the number of points for peak free , I would hope that I could move the certificate from the travel package from one reservation to the other.

thank you
