She did claim this was a one-time offer.
I gladly accepted the NC6 upgrade and my account now showed "Partial Package - 7 nights category 6". I hope that is all I need to do.

That's good. I didn't get that option but I had OC9 to NC6, but then again we aren't 100% on nc7's..

I am looking at using an old 1-5 (new 1-4) and there are very few choices in Hawaii, none in Japan. If I bump it up with extra points that will give me some more choices.
Then looking at Bali I saw no availability for any month I checked. Is this a Marriott loading problem, or a situation where they just don't offer award rooms?
No availability for cash as well or just award?

Applied to a NC4 and no fuss, took a few minutes.
Wonder if I can upgrade my other one ... but I don’t even really have anywhere I want to use it yet.
Must be ymmv. I did mine over the weekend and it was originally 4/1/19 and it was extended 1 year from issue (12/15/19)
