I'm wondering the same thing; the Certs are good for 35K, which according to the chart should pull a Cat 4 in peak season? almost everything I'm finding cat 3-4 is 37,500 and up! it's like prices went way up (which everything has) and they haven't adjusted to chart. RT

Sounds like searching for 2 nights - that would generate 37.5k for a cat 3 with 1 peak night and 1 mid night. Marriott shows total points for a multi night point search but individual night cost for a cash booking.

The top up feature - is it planned only for the 35K cert to be topped up to 50K, or will it allow the 50K cert to be topped up to 65K as well?

I certainly expect to top up my 25K certificates to 40K.

Is anyone able to post a website or app screenshot that shows how this 'top-off' process works ?

Add Points to Certificates (Up to 15K)
It was announced that in April we would be able to add up to 15k to a certificate for rooms. Has anyone seen when that will begin? Will that be available online or via call only?
