Just to remove any doubts I contacted the hotel to confirm and they have indeed confirmed that free seaplane is applicable to points bookings over 7 nights.. This was key for me as I have not extended my points reservation by 2 nights!

I updated my reservation from 5 nights to 7 nights to quilfy for this promotions via points advance booking but the hotel told me since my exisitng reservations was orginally confirmed before the promotion I would need to cancel and rebook to qualify. I afraid since I don't see any OWV available on points I won't be able to rebook if I cancel. How can I go about this situation since we want to stay in the OWV. Any advice is greatly appricated. TIA

I was able to book an OWV for 7 nights for points yesterday and did see the offer listed on their website. I could not get the offer to connect to my booking. I also do not see the offer today. I called the Marriott Platinum customer service number and explained the situation. They created a case# for me and sent it to the St. Regis Maldives. I was told to expect a communication from the hotel in 5 to 7 days.

I did email the hotel directly to confirm the offer is still applicable. Will wait to see the response.

I had made a booking about a week ago but only deducted my points for it today. I too do not have the offer connected to my rate instead it shows all the different offers that they've updated to like the discounts on SPA etc.

Not sure how true this is, but it looks like the Maldives will be requiring a minimum stay of 14 days. This site won't let me post the link because I am new, but Google the topic.
Big impact on budget and travel. They are restricting a lot of countries also.

There is no 14 day requirement?
