This seems very strange to me that I can use the points that I have earned through stays and credit card spend but I can't use the 35,000 FNA points that I earned from the credit card to pay for one of those four days????

It is quite possible my FNA will expire unused as it expires in June and this will be only trip between now and then that is in a location with a Marriott.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there anyway around it?
About the only way around this cert expiring in June is to call them, say in May, and ask to extend it. That’s assuming you haven’t already done it a year ago. Some people report having to call a few times to get it done, but it should work.

As for being able to use it in conjunction with 5 nights for the cost of 4 - no, there is no way around that.
