That is a very bad use of 3 certificates unless your stay absolutely must be 5 nights long.

For a 5 night stay (95K standard room):
pay with points: 4*95K = 380K
points = 76K per night, so you pay 3 FN certs plus 76K x 2 = 152Kpts. Instead of paying 190K for the 2 points nights, you would pay 152K, a savings of only 38K. (not even close to fifth night free)
