Been reading back a few pages, with same household transfers gone from the SPG website, any way to combine (free pref) my points with my spouse to top off? I know I can transfer from UR or purchase, but looking to use her existing starriott points alongside mine, only need about 20k

Are they still refunding 45k for old 1-5 certificates?
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

it seems that they may be allowing 100K per year for Marriott to Marriott transfers, only.

Why dont you keep it a 7 night and dont check out via desk, but call them after 7 days are up. You can put the please dont disturb on the door.

What happens if you just checkout after 5 days?

They hold you hostage until day 7.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

in some places you have to pay a resort fee per night so maybe its not worth paying for 7 nights if you only plan on staying 5

If it's the same as the regular nights certificates (can't imagine why it wouldn't be in this regard) then no.
