2) After getting the cert. in the mail, can you change the reservation date or is the cert just "open" and just check the hotel then for availability?

3) IF changeable hotel cert. does it have an expiration date associated with it? (i.e. 1 year)
Hi

1) You can redeem as many travel packages as long as you have enough MR points. Each package will give the X amount of miles and 7 nights.

2) You will need to make a booking when you order your travel package. You can always make it far into the future and then change the property and date later.

3) You have one year to use the hotel portion but you can get an extension for another year. You must call MR and they will cancel the old cert and issue a new one good for another year.

BTW, if you are not sure what hotel you want to stay at redeem for the 1-5 cat and if you need a cat 6 or 7 you can always upgrade with the additional points. You can upgrade but NOT downgrade your hotel cat.

If you need any further info... just ask
