If so, how much time elapsed between the time you completed the second level and the third level became available?

I'm relatively certain it can be done online. From what I've read, when making the reservation you'll have the option of using the cert during the payment process.

Is this the third "level" that you've unlocked? Meaning, you've already received your cert (first level) and your 10,000 points for an additional five nights (second level)?
If so, how much time elapsed between the time you completed the second level and the third level became available?

Interesting, thanks for the reply. I think yours is the first second level offer I've seen that isn't 10,000 points for 5 stays. (Or maybe I did and forgot.)

Make a booking as if with points. Prior to finalizing the reservation the system will note if you have an applicable cert available. If so, it will ask if you want to attach that cert or deduct points.
Done this many times online although I don't recall if possible via app.

Online redemption of certificates has been very inconsistent for me. I have three in my account now, and only one shows when doing a test booking. Of course it isn’t the one with the earliest expiration date.

My account is set to Ritz. So I have all sorts of problem accessing the promotion page. I just sent them a message on Twitter and they were able to register for me without problem. I had a lot of back-to-back stays since I was traveling to different cities, so I was worried about those stays not count toward the second promo, but in the end, the stay-5-get-10k promo was retroactive to my first stay.
