Does anyone know if Marriott is still allowing these travel packages to be extended an extra year?

Is this an Encore package? If so, some have reported success. Best to call them.

In December,I called to apply a 5-night cert expiring 7.20.2020 to a reservation beginning 7.28.2020. I didn’t mention dates and they made it happen. After it was confirmed I asked about extending my other two. Agent said no, but implied that exceptions are made. I would think getting an exception to apply to a confirmed registration is easier than a blanket request for a one year extension.

Timeline for 5/7 night package use
Probably asked and answered but couldn't find it. Assuming no extensions granted by Bonvoy, do you need to use/occupy or just book your package hotel stay within a year after purchasing with points?

My last conversation in renewing the rep noted can continue to roll forward year to year, just need to remember to do it (and document who you spoke with for proof).

My advice whenever doing anything with a Travel Package certificate-reserving/canceling and putting the certificate back for future use/extending etc. Do not hang up with Marriott until you see the changes you expected. Too many times I've hung up just to see something different. Its always been fixed-but a lot of extra work.

I happened across this article today. I really have no idea how Marriott travel packages work, but I have seen TUG postings about how they changed rules. Never quite understood it.
In any event, here is the link:
Have an old Marriott travel package you can't use? You might be able to get points for it.
Marriott’s handling of the old Marriott Travel packages was extremely poor to put it charitably. Between an announced conversion that made most package holders losers to an about-face that offered partial refunds for the travel-package-hosed, it just didn’t seem to be the most well-implemented...
