I would guess the 105K points is the upgrade charge for upgrading from a Cat 5 to a Cat 8 (5K/night or 35K per week * 3 categories = 105K points.)

There're a whole new bunch of Marriott reps who are completely ignorant of the travel packages. Just spoke to Rewards rep with an Indian accent who's never heard of travel packages or hotel+air packages. My last call to change an existing certificate was also messed up and had to call again to straighten it up.

icydog, you actually received 132K United miles.
I just upgraded my 5 night TP from a cat 5 to a cat 7. I had to do it with a Rewards Rep since the MVCI rep said she couldn’t do it. Then I ordered another for one someone to travel with me. So now I have 2 cat 7 TPs and 264,000 UA frequent flyer miles. Heres the thing, and I could be mistaken, the rewards rep charged me 45,000 points for the initial upgrade from Cat 5 to Cat 7. It should have been 35,000 points not 45,000 MRP. Am I correct? |

Book now! Today Marriott revealed their new Hotel + Air Package pricing and structure, and it's a big devaluation over the current ones: https://lacek.hs.llnwd.net/e1/marrio...ges_Chart2.pdf

EDIT: Nevermind, read a few pages back, and it seems like it's going to take affect in August? |

Excellent city in which to spend a Travel Package. ^
I think I will keep my Cotton House reservation. :) |
For the 5 night package you must be a Marriott timeshare owner so you call owner services at MVC 800.845.4226
|
The announcement says call to book an air/hotel package below. Makes it sound like it takes effect now. Marriott usually gives a grace period before enacting changes.

I believe you are correct, it should have been 35K points to upgrade 5-night cert from Cat 1-5 to Cat 7.

What # are you calling to get the 5 night ones? I thought they only offer 7 nights.

Do you happen to have the reward codes for those two awards? I believe that the cat 5 one is 530T, and suspect that that cat 7 one is 610T.

I am still waiting to see where the current floater TP are going to map to. I would have 2 cat 7 and a cat 5. I would like to use these to book SPG properties in Paris, but I have no idea if they are going to map to cat 5 or 6. I hope that info comes out soon.
