Heads up to all you folks with 135,000 + points- time is running out to get MR cheques. See below note and link to site to order is
https://www.marriott.com/rewards/usepoints/inhotelextras.mi
I use these for vacation instead of points as many time my points go further for the room- takes more points for free room vs using my cheques at the redemption ratio. I can use them for everything including parking, meals, golf, spa; and i can get MR credit for my night stay vs when you use points. the new MR redemption page- nice layout (Marriott Gift Cards | Marriott Rewards Merchandise) has $1000 gift card for 205,000 points. it is nice they are giving notice that this cheque promo is being eliminate so we still have time to order more. How many times do other companies just eliminate promos without telling you?? they come with 12 month expiration. have a great 2013!!
