besides paying for your alternative accomodations and $100 comp, the 2 certs are, if memory serves me correctly, valid at any Marriott prop worldwide w/o cat limitation.........
IMO, worth more then the 60,000 points offered.....

These are "Ultimate" Certificates....very expensive for the hotel to purchase and very easy for the guests to use pretty much anywhere

Wow. I've (knock on wood) never been walked but at least those certs probably in the vast majority of cases would more than make up for it.

Starting 1/1/14 guests will be awarded enough points for 2 nights at a category 9 hotel (45,000 X 2) in place of the certificates so net result is the guest is still receiving the same value but should have a better experience (hotels with a current stock of the Ultimate Certificates will continue to use them until fully depleted and will begin awarding bonus points at that time)

if known, why do they use the top cat of Marriott hotels if RC charges more points, or were RCs excluded from the URG certs usage ???

but they're listed in the URG ??
and, obviously you could be walked from an RC.......
so, does that mean the certs received from being walked from an RC could not be used at an RC???

the only thing that has changed is how the free nights are provided to the guest, the value remains the same as it was before (free alternative hotel room for the reserved night, $200 or $200 in local currency depending on brand)
