For all you folks that have redeemed MR for travel packages in the last couple weeks are you let the cert. float or attaching it? I may redeem for a 1>5 Cat. package this week.
Determining whether I have the stamina to play chicken with new Marriott on what will happen post merger. I may blink, but I'm trying to keep it unattached. haha. |

For Virgin Atlantic, don't they have very high fuel surcharge?

Does anyone know where to locate the link to the legacy travel packages terms and conditions other than this?

As a heads up to those attempting to purchase travel packages, I'd recommend doing it sooner rather than later. It took me almost a week to order a package because my VS number was "invalid according to the system".
They finally resolved the bug in their system (at least for my account), but now the miles won't post on VS (supposed to be < 3 days, per phone reps). Their teams are investigating it, but I imagine they're overrun with requests / issues. A supervisor indicated to me that this is a widespread issue (on both the VS number side, and on miles not posting). Anyone else experience something like this? Beyond frustrating... I now have two floaters that I will leave unattached. I have a hotel in mind for one of them, but it drops from Cat 6 to Cat 4 upon merger, so I'll see if I can still book it after we know the fate of our floaters... |
Quick update - marriott travel packages are not bookable now on account of a "Technical issue". Did anyone else encounter this?

Got one yesterday. Called answered straightaway and took 2 mins on the phone for a cat 1-5

I have just redeemed a TP to VS. VS membership number was accepted, so now just the waiting game to see when the miles land.

Just booked 7 nights Cat-8 United package. Plenty SPG+MR points. After 8/18, Cat-8 will be changed to Cat-6. I still get one-year to use the certificates. Happy about it. Very short on United miles.

Just redeemed cat 1-5 with UA miles. The agent picked up immediately and asked me my UA I'd and said done. It was within 1 minute after verifying name and address. I was surprised how quickly that was and am nervous. Hopefully the miles will post on time. Now I have 5 certificates with only one attached for December. |

That super generous hold policy is now history. Hope they honor yours since you did it before their policy change. Also, pre-8/18, you get substantially fewer miles if you select KE for your TP.
You are correct on partner flights awards holds however as they have a much more limited hold policy of a matter of days or up to a week if I recall. |

The generous hold policy is definitely alive and well with the caveat that your flights are all on KE metal. Without even asking the agent that I spoke with mentioned that I had to pay by August 21st (for a flight placed on hold on July 21st) and the current status shows "Pay by Aug 21st".

Pulled the trigger on the Cat 1-5 w/ 110K United miles last night. Took all of a few minutes, award went into the account as au un attached floater immediately and the 110K are in my United account too! Italy, Spain or France some time next year for me. We will see how the new program works out -so back to work to earn new miles!
