I know last year the FN cert returned immediately from cancellation except in cases the cert somehow is stuck at the hotel's side - but the cert returned carried the same expiration date instead of being "renewed".
Why on earth would you make this post in public?!

Fair enough this trick is a pretty obvious method to try for anyone with rudimentary critical thinking skills but by just using it and not publicising it, it's lasted a while now. Posting this on FT and, even worse, on a thread read by Marriott reps is just asking for the loophole to be closed. If it is, thanks in advance, d'oh!
