I briefly combed the threads about the impending MAJOR changes to the Rewards program.
I believe the changes takes affect on January 15th 2009.
Gone will be the "World Trip"
(7-Days Marriott Hotel certificate, x number of miles deposited into FF Mileage Accts & Hertz Rental Discount)
And it will cost a LOT more rewards points to duplicate the package.
Black out dates are being eliminated.
That's the sum total of my knowledge about this change.
My Questions:
There are 7? categories of Marriott Hotels.
When I request my World Package, do I have to specify which category of hotel I want and will the number of points required, be based on the level I choose ?
How long before the hotel certificate expires ?
What are my options if I'm not able to get a hotel/time-frame I desire ?
We don't have any definite plans on WHERE we'd like to go... YET.
How soon should I start looking for available rooms ?
Thank You for assisting this senile senior
