I have my cat 5 certificate attached a hotel that increased to cat 6. If I cancel my reservation does the certificate goes back to cat 5 or stays cat 6?

it stays the same. But when you want to rebook they will need to convert the certificate to a new one

not sure I get you: rebook to a different hotel, different date? can I rebook to a cat 6 property now?

How long after you cancel a 7 night certificate will it show back in the account?

How do people calculate value ofpoints these days?
Do you decide the required amount in half and then divide room charge by point?
Ex: room is 30k points or $200 cash is it 200/30k or 200/17.5k since they offer a 1:2 ratio ?

What cpp do you aim for ?

They sell those here? Can I use them even if I'm booking from my own account?
