Members who wish to book a points advance redemption under the current Marriott Rewards and SPG award chart are encouraged to order redemption certificates before March 5 to lock in the rate. On March 5, redemption bookings are subject to the new unified program award chart.
TPG 已经联系 Marriott 确认这个事情了，等待回复中。We’ve reached out to Marriott to confirm the practical implications of this verbiage, as it sounds like Points Advance reservations will revert to the new pricing if they don’t have certificates attached prior to March 5. This would be a tremendously negative change, though again, we don’t yet know for sure that it will work in this way. We’ll be sure to provide an update as soon as we have confirmation from Marriott.更新：Marriott 的官方答复，3.5 之前下单的 Point Advance 预订即使没有 attach certificate，在 3.5 之后也会按照旧的积分标准支付。
“[Members can] retain the lower price from the original reservation … The policy for points advance did not change — we are simply sharing that it is easier and helps avoid confusion if the certificate is attached before the categories change.”
