Hi everyone. I am smart enough now to know there are tons of intelligent people here who can give me great advice before I make any decisions. So here's my current question:
I was checking out the Marriott website since I have alot of points and havent really used any. I was trying to think of creative ways to use them since it seems like they won't be worth too much pretty soon lol. I came across the chart for Marriott Gift Certificates.
My question is..... how is this possible?
Elite Only - $100 Marriott Gift Cheque 25,000
$250 Marriott Cheque 60,000
Elite Only - $1000 Marriott Gift Cheque 135,000
Isn't the $1000 gift check an absolute steal compared to the $100 and even the $250? When I was reading the terms and conditions though, it said you cannot get change for your gift check. Does that mean if I purchase 2 $1000 gift checks and my hotel stay comes out to $1250.00 that I lose the $750? Is that why the $1000 gift checks are so cheap points-wise?
Also, has anyone purchased these? Are they worth the points amount?
Thanks in advance!
