I will always choose the free night at 75 nights, as I find it much easier to get a hotel to upgrade me than to give me a free night.

A lot can happen in 8 months. Asking for them to be extended now is expecting too much IMO. Many SNAs frequently go unused in non-pandemic times (based on what is posted here), but you can always choose more if you cross 50+ nights.

I agree with what you say above! Albeit maybe already expected, I guess it’s still too early to extend these SNA’s

Sigh...I really want to use my 7 night award but there are no local category 4s that allow me to do a staycation and with the recent surge in cases and the variants, I really am not sure if we will end up making our planned trip to San Diego in October. :-( I guess I will see if any of my mainland relatives want to do a road trip in winter. At least Washington, DC has some decent looking Category 4 hotel options.

My carts were automatically extended to have a very early January 2022 expiration date. They were previously set to expire in August 2021. I’m still not sure how I’m going to use them before the January 2022 expiration date, since I have no plans to stay anywhere for so many weeks as would be required to use these certs to their full value.

Travel packages’ certs — mostly originally issued from before Marriott’s massive category change — account for most of the award nights covered by my certs that got extended.
