Standard Redemption Rate Certificate?
I looked everywhere and just spent 1h on hold with an agent (only for the call to drop) and am no closer to the answer:
Does anyone have any idea what this "Standard Redemption Rate" certificate might be? It looks like it may be an IT bug, but if it's an actual cert that somehow ended up on my account (I did recently cancel some SPG50 bookings) I'd sure like to use them!

Not sure. If you had an SPG50 free night certificate that was unattached to a reservation (or became unattached) then that was cancelled and became something weird with a 45K per night point cap IIRC.

Sorry - I should have made myself clearer. SPG50 was the "1k Starpoints and 50% off rack rate" which was available on SPG. Nothing to do with the free night cert achieved at 50 nights.

UPDATE: I called again this morning (early morning is the best time to get hold of competent agents with little hold times!) and was told they were each worth 30k points! So I cancelled both and got a nice unexpected 60k windfall! Perhaps a benefit of the botched IT merger?

Possibly, although I doubt I wouldn't have kept track of it... in any case it's probably too late now as my cancellations list would be lost somewhere in the legacy SPG system.
