Hi all,
I've been looking into the Marriott Travel Packages rewards option where you swap a bunch of Marriott points for a 7-night stay and some airline miles. It seems like a pretty good option for me (looking to swoop in with some MR points to make this happen) but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this award type before and can answer a couple of questions for me.
1. Does the hotel stay have to be booked right away or does it come in the form of an e-Certificate that you then use to book a stay later on?
2. If so, does the e-Certificate have an expiry date that it must be used to book by?
3. Is there an occupancy limit on the room? Could I, for instance be able to use it for a couple + toddler?
I don't have definite dates or destination yet and it could be 12-18 months before I wanted to use this so just trying to understand how much flexibility there is. I've read through the T&C's but there isn't too much detail that I've found.
Thanks,
Damien
