Or just apply the 2 nights at the checkout page? Or do I have to book separately 1 night and then call/message Marriott to combine. I don't have the certificates yet so I cannot test it.

As an added wrinkle, how would this work if my significant other also holds a card that generates a free night certificate? Does she have to book? Can I add it to my reservation (since I am Platinum). Thanks
I would make each reservation for one night, using your certs, then have the hotel combine the reservations when you arrive. (I don't think you can apply multiple certs to a single reservation online.)

As a Plat, you'd naturally be in the mix for an upgrade - it's easier to get an upgrade for a one night reservation (which you then combine with your other nights upon arrival) than it is to score an upgraded room for multiple consecutive nights (in my experience.)
