Can I combine 5th night free and Category 1-4 free night cert on 5 night stay?
Hi all-
Relatively new to MR and cannot seem to find an answer in my search.
I have a free cat 1-4 certificate from the MR Chase Visa, and a 5 night stay coming up. Can I book the stay as a 5 night reward stay and effectively use 60K points (3 reward nights), the free night cat 1-4 cert, and the 5th night free?
I can't seem to figure out how the cert is treated. If it cannot be combined with the 5th night free promo, I'll save it for later - otherwise it would basically be throwing it away.

Unfortunately, you can't use an existiing e-cert as one of your 4 "paid" nights for a 5th night free award. You have to actually order the 5 night award cert and you will only be charged for 4 nights.
You can on a 6 night stay use both a free night cert and a 5th night free award though (assuming the hotel has award inventory for all the nights of course.)
