Another data point - I purchased a $75 southwest gift cert and it was also approved today via sm, no questions asked. I purchased a physical gift cert so with shipping the total was more like $78.

Marriott/Ritz will extend damn near any certificate you ask them to.

I had reduced my credit limit to $1500 last year, and these past few weeks I've cycled through it multiple times in order to reach the $10k annual spend to maintain Gold status. I've just noticed they increased my credit limit back to $3000 without me asking!

2) the link I used a few months ago was a "standard" $3k spend with 6 months given for the cert expirations. In fact, if you click on the link in the Wiki, it still shows as 6 months in the terms.
I think the main question is: has Chase gone ahead and converted any new certs issued to 12 months regardless of the offer people signed up for? I purposely delayed getting the certs for 2 months to time the 6 months, so I may be one of the first to report a possible change.
The bottom-line is that people at minimum have a choice: they can apply for the "new" links that will definitely provide 12 months but require an extra $1k spend, or they can talk a chance and apply on a legacy $3k link and see if they will get the 12 months anyway.
It may be worth the extra $1k spend requirement for some to apply and know they can use the certs longer, unless others are reporting the same favorable outcome I have.

i called about a second, i did a few months later, and they said no, and told me the last rep made a mistake.
i have called back recently, and explained that the Gift Registry is used for all the eligible spend benefits, ie seat upgrades, additional baggage costs,to no avail.
the rep told me it is coded the same as Gift Cards, and is not eligible.
a pity when in reality, the GR can be used for all the eligible spend criteria.

still disappointed they don't regard UA Gift Registry as a legitimate refundable spend category, given the UA Gift Registry, can be utilised for all the regular creditable categories, ie upgrades, excess baggage charges, lounge access, or membership, etc.

So, I had the RC card and got the MR/RC gold status that comes with it. Spent over $10K on it that would extend the gold status another year, but I did close the card afterwards (a good 6 months after hitting that $10K). Logged into Marriott, looks like they recently downgraded me to silver, when I Should have gold for another 8 months or so. Is this because I cancelled the card? Thought gold would extend for another year regardless..?
