Ritz Rewards Negative Balance
Without going into lots of detail my RR balance has gone negative points, any issue with this? Eventually the balance will become positive but not for a few months. Biggest concern I have is an upcoming reward stay in Feb and if it would be effected.Thoughts?

Well you're going to need the points before your reward stay in Feb (if RC is like Marriott, the points/e-cert get pulled a week in advance if not already attached). So if you don't have them by then you'll need to look at paying for the stay. If they had already pulled the points when you made the reservation/funded the stay/already attached the e-cert & it was subsequent events/award ressies that threw you into negative mode, your Feb stay should be ok. That's my initial guess/take on the situation.
Cheers.
