Just a data point from today 01/06/2017.
I called Marriott to order a Hotel plus Air package with Southwest as the designated transfer airline.
I asked the rep for the 5-night package. She said we no longer offer those.  I said I had seen it online, etc. etc. No luck.
Being that so many had reported no success in the 5 night package, I decided to just take the 7 night package without HUCA.
As she was getting my information I mentioned that I really was disappointed that I couldn't get the 5 night package because it's so hard to find 7 consecutive days of availability....
Anyway she put me on hold to do the transfer and she came back and said you're all good to go, you should see the SW points within 3 business days.
Then, I log into my account  and see that instead of deducting 270k, she deducted 235k and there is a 5-NIGHT TRAVEL CERTIFICATE! (see image)
Don't know how I got so lucky, but it looks like the reps can easily do it. (No I don't own a Marriott timeshare, I'm just Gold status from cc).
Now, I just hope nothing changes and the 120k transfers smoothly to SW.
Well done, please comment on DDMS, http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/103860

Good thing, I may or may not share an address with a Marriott timeshare owner ;-)
Let me see if they'll let me transfer at the owner rate.

Are there any data points on marriott's willingness to extend the voucher from one year to 2?

for now. I would venture a guess next January or February they stop due to all the CP people calling to extend.

Does anyone have any recent experience booking a 5-night certificate without being a timeshare owner?

Same here. I was specifically told that its only for timeshare owners (which you should never be for many reasons...get the almost free vacation but NEVER NEVER buy)

Was it just a matter of asking or did you need to plead? Do you have status with them?
