If you have a Travel Package Award attached to an existing Reservation, rest assured, we will be honoring your stay and no additional action is required.
Please Note:
The airline miles portion of the Travel Package Award was deposited to you at the time of purchase of the Travel Package Award and, therefore, will not be refunded.

If you modify or cancel a Redemption Reservation that has a Travel Package Award attached to it after March 2, 2022, you must contact Member Support to cancel the Travel Package Award, after which you will receive a full Marriott Bonvoy® Point refund for the Hotel portion of the Award.

If a property has more than one room type available to book with points, I assume that the travel package books into the lowest one -- can you pay the extra points/night to book one of the higher room types?

After you book your point/TP stay, contact hotel directly. They should be able to give you some options to upgrade. Marriott central reservation can't do anything.

How is there “almost no way” of a further extension? The rebound is largely in the US only! Per day, we are seeing more cases now globally than ever, and daily death records are also being recorded a number of markets also. Here in the U.K. as of today, it is illegal for hotels to open to leisure travellers, the majority still remain closed. I hope for my sake Marriott takes a more global outlook than yourself 😉
this clearly indicates that marriott is hating these extensions and wants to offload all this liability in their books. their dream would be to increase all hotel categories to level 11 in which case all certs would be rendered useless.

Anyone with recent data points on a new TP with air miles deposited to United?
It has been well over 24 hours, and I haven't seen them post to my United account yet.
