Award Certificate Redemption
Just tried booking a CAT 4 hotel with a megabonus cert online, but the system kept asking for a code. Wound up calling reservations and got them to book, but the reservation online shows 20,000 points?
Also mentions having to order an e-cert 7 days prior to the stay.
Is this all normal?
Also, it's a German hotel. Should I expect any fees / taxes etc on top of the cert (or points), presuming I don't raid the larder?
Please help a clueless newbie out...first experience with using certs!
Thanks

Just received an email from Marriott saying they pulled the points, but down at the bottom it says the certificate was pulled. Interesting.
I will try and update once I get there and see the result.
