There's another thread on this, I wasn't able to find it right away.
The summary is that globalists have been able to convert the Cat 1-7 cert for 20K points *after* it expires. Non-globalists seem to be out of luck.

mine expired on 1/18, but I got confirmation in December that they would credit 10k points. they only credited because it was promised last year. My 2nd Cat 1-7 will expire in 1 week, and for this award, my request was denied.
I'd say they'll be strict going forward... too bad.

After success in 2018, but not in 2019....I was able to get 10‘000 points for an expired Cat1-4 award post to my account on Jan 3. This seems to be officially back again.

I was told "no" anything other than use it or lose it. Used in a place I needed to go anyway, but it was on a low-occupancy, low-rate night I would have rather paid for just to get some value. But after 15 years I'm not top-tier status and they clearly don't love me anymore.

Are you globalist now ? I would have expected that as a globalist they would have given you some points.
