The ONLY reason to go certs is if you don't think you'll hit your nights threshold... Otherwise, points are MUCH better. More flexibility, don't expire.

Even if we could make the 45K, getting 2 Cat 5 certs is going to save us 50K points, so it is a better deal for us, this time.

Also, if you have a stay planned at a Cat. 4, getting the 3 certs would mean you come out ahead.

Definitely, 3 cat 4 certs = 60k points. There are some places that the cat 4 certs are pretty useful - e.g. FSs in China.

My offer showed up in Promotions Central this morning. Got the 35,000 / 15,000 points deal--which I wanted. I was not invited nor did I register. It just showed up automatically. This has happened previously for me with other mega deals.

I got the 50K point max offer - it is what I want. I know this is not as good as the free night but for those who want to make lifetime status (which requires a certain number of points to be earned), it is a better offer.
For those who have not gotten anything, the promotion does not start for another month, so don't panic...

If you really mean what you seem to have written, this is an offer that hasn't been reported here yet. Are you sure it's a total of 45,000 points?
