Marriott appears to still honor points advance reservation closer to stay date but since this is a travel package thread, it seems irrelevant.
I was able to attach a NC TP to a prior PA booking with the old category. But it was quite a while (months) ago. The logic at that time was that, Marriott would honor the old category. If the hotel changed from NC-5 to NC-6, then Marriott should still honor the NC-5 and allow the NC-5 TP be attached.
Things continue to change at Marriott side. They enforce more and more rules.
