I know there was a link at one time for the chart that showed MR 5 night packages with hotel categories and air miles, but I cant seem to find it; does it still exist? I know the 7 night packages are posted, but we are interested in the 5 night package...Also, how long do you have to use the hotel portion from the date of purchase? I know you can sometimes extend them, but wondered about the default (1 year, 2 year?) as well? Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!

This is the link for the 5 night MR Travel Package (owner sign in required)

The default (guaranteed) period for using the Accommodation Certificates is 1 year, but we regularly extend to 2 years and once extended to a 3rd year.

I hope you *already* have all the pints you need,in your account. I wrote yesterday because we are planning a couple of years ahead, and I wanted to trade in our two 2019 properties for 200,000 MRPs (after 1/1/2018) so we could then get a 7-night certificate to use 3/19. I was told that we would not have ACCESS to those points - meaning no certificate or SkyMiles - until at LEAST 9/18. So much for getting a good booking, a year ahead! Over a hundred people have viewed my question/rant so far - but no answers confirming that YES, this is Marriott policy.

We did get a certificate yesterday, from points we already had - and that was fairly easy (once the Marriott SITE decided to cooperate, and then direct us to making a call anyway.) But for the OTHER matter - we will probably just change those properties now to DCPs - and rent them out. CASH always talks - and right away. Good luck with your transactions and the vacations is yields. The 5-night ones are never *fair* value, and the 7 night ones only become *fair* from Level 5 and up. We are doing a Level 4 because of location and amenities - the 30K they take in skim, is OK with us, this time.
