I called the direct "luxury services" line (800-241-3333) which I've been told is the ONLY way to apply the club upgrade certs.

Save yourself some time and just call RC reservations directly when trying to use club level upgrade certs.
I have not had this card since 2017, and was unaware that the number on the back of the card was the standard Marriott
BONV°Y number rather than the specialized Ritz-Carlton reservations number (800-241-3333). It would make sense to write this number on the back of one's card, perhaps somewhere in the signature box.
The procedural details set forth above in
Post # 64 are very helpful indeed.
Thank you,
