Marriott point redemption query...
This may sound silly, but I was wondering--if you turn in points for a 4-night stay and get the 5th free, can you extend the stay to 9 nights and get the 10th night free?
Basically, can you do this twice in a row...back to back (stay 4, get 5th free, stay 4, get 5th free).
We are going to Australia and considering spending a majority of the time in Sydney. There are so many day trips we could do from Sydney that we are considering just staying there for 10 nights and somewhere else for the final 4 nights.
Thanks.
Dawn

Still trying to work my way around the Marriott way....it really is quite different from Hilton (no more GlonP talk...or AMEX redemption!).
Thanks a lot! That takes care of that question!
