ok that was a waste of a hour I will never get back. Which number do you suggest calling. I called the number of the Marriott page and they do not know what is going on over there.

Then they passed me to someone who said I could not get a 5 night rewards as I was NOT a MVC owners.

So I bailed on a 1 hr call, and I will have to do it again. Anyone else having issues on a 5 night.

Uh oh. I have not but I was certainly hoping to try this out myself over the weekend. As I understand, it's up to the rep as to whether this goes through or not. Maybe HUCA?

You can get an agent to attach a 7 night certificate for a shorter stay... not a problem.

would you advise the agent as you are making the booking or just let the hotel know as you check in?

Did they give you a full refund of the Marriott points redeemed, after they took away your 5-night certificate ?

Au contraire... if they're planning to screw us with a mere 45K refund, then it's in their interest to keep that quiet so we keep ordering TPs under the current rules...

I still believe that if you have a Cat 5 today, you're going to wake up on August 1st with a "new" Cat 4. You'll be materially whole, looking at attaching it to the same quality level of hotels, subject to the category changes that go into effect on that day.
