but they have responded to multiple individuals (and made clear on their website) that they did not intend to make any further extensions. This is about as much certainty or confirmation as you’re going to get. I don’t think you should wait for a press release along the lines of “for realz, we’re serious about what we’ve told you already” before making plans for your awards. If you’re a globalist, then maybe ask your concierge if there’s any hope of extension or conversion to points.
It’s also worth remembering that you can use the carts for other peoples stays. If you personally can’t travel for whatever reason, and since travel is quickly recovering, consider whether friends or family could make better use of them than you can.
