No, but I did remember reading one post a while back that indicated night credits were received on an award stay where a purchased upgrade was included. That was a single post though. Can anyone confirm whether this is the case or not? If it is the case, then that would be enough for me to make a point to look for these type of awards. I know Sydney Harbour Marriott is one of the properties I have seen offering $, or more precisely AUD, upgrades in conjunction with award stays.
Suite - Executive >>
Standard Hotel --------------- 130,000 points for stay
Reward/Upgrade(Cash)
MARRIOTT REWARDS REDEMPTION*UPGRADE TO EXECUTIVE SUITE FOR AUD 150 PER NIGHT TO BE PAID DIRECTLY TO HOTEL (1KING BED)MAX3P
TIA for any info on this.
