It certainly would be good to understand the changes to the travel packages well in advance of March 2022 so we can make informed decisions...

If they extend them again and again they ought to have a policy a place how to handle them.

Exactly, and here is hoping we hear that policy sooner than later. I’m hopeful for a further extension, and would see it as arguably fair located in a part of Europe where travel is currently restricted.

Why not? Granted it's nowhere near the value it was a few years ago, but it might be the last chance to get outsized value without having a set idea of what hotel to book pre-March. I'm thinking of getting one, but, like others, I'd like some more details from Marriott.

Does not bode well for us with the end of redemption charts - looks like the coming devaluation will be rough

. This and wanting another extension. i can’t imagine the conversion to go well. Might as well just give out the points at the current level and category level and be done with but that will be too generous for Bonvoy.

Has there been a thread on this? I loved these before they devalued them. Seems like they are going away totally now. According to an update to the program’s terms and conditions which was unannounced,
3.14 Hotel and Air Travel Packages
Effective January 19, 2022, Hotel and Air Travel Packages are no longer available for purchase.

Can travel packages be used for a portion of a booking? For example, if i booked 10 nights, can I use the travel package to pay for 7 out of 10 of them, and then points for the rest, or do I need to book 2 separate reservations? Thanks!
