thank for the reply. For some reason I can make a 3 and 2 day reservation including the Thursday night at this place, but not the Thursday night individually. Might just be some glitch.

I recall all being able to use my 2 Ritz 60k night certificates on the same reservation (I did do it by calling initially) so maybe in the new Marriott you can do this now.

Can you explain the upgrade thing though? If they give you an upgrade and it’s not available for the whole stay, you wouldn’t get the upgrade then? Or are you saying they’re just more likely to give an upgrade seeing you’re only there one night initially?
