Global List: Autograph Collection 35K Free Night Certificate Redemptions

 

35k Free Night Certificates can be earned through Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless and Amex Marriott Bonvoy Business Card that cost $95 and $125 in annual fee respectively. Despite how basic a 35K FNC looks, it’s still possible to redeem them at upscale Marriott brand like the Autograph Collection.

We now know that Marriott still secretly assign categories to their hotels, and with that information, we can infer the possibility of our Free Night Certificates, as we can top them up with up to 15,000 Marriott points. In case of 35k FNC’s, we could redeem a hotel that would charge 50,000 Marriott points at most.

Here’s the secret Marriott award chart:

Category	Minimum/Night	Maximum/Night
1	5,500	16,000
2	10,000	23,000
3	15,000	29,500
4	21,000	46,000
5	30,000	69,000
6	35,000	81,000
7	44,000	102,000
8A	59,500	130,000
8B	52,000	106,000
9A	80,000	140,000
9B	82,000	126,000
9C (StR/RC Maldives)	70,000	164,000
RC Reserve Zadun (Cat 11)	131,000	212,000
RC Reserve Dorado Beach (Cat 12)	170,000	254,000
Nujuma, RC Reserve (Cat 12)	163,000	299,500

For context, I will add the set Category level for each Autograph Collection hotels listed below. In terms of 35k FNC redemption at Autograph Collection hotels, only Cat 4-6 are the ones you should look out for. Here’s what each Category means:

• Cat 4: Guaranteed & may or may not need topup (topup is within the range of max amount of points charged)
• Cat 5: Good chances except during peak times; topup most likely required
• Cat 6: Topup required; must be very picky with dates and plan trip around hotel redemption. Sometimes impossible on resort properties.

While it could be possible to redeem them at Category 7 properties, I decided to include them on the 50K FNC redemption list for Autograph Collection instead for simplicity due to how challenging it already is to redeem 35K FNC at Category 6 properties.

For the Autograph Collection brand in particular, there could be some hotels set at Category 2-3. Whether or not that’s worth redeeming a 35K FNC is up to you, but I recommend at least breaking even with the annual fee of either the Boundless or Business ($95 & $125 respectively).

Conclusion

Autograph Collection is Marriott’s upscale boutique brand that, at times, be on par with the more luxurious brands. Due to it belonging to the “Premium” brands, you’ll often run into hotels set at lower Categories which would make 35K Free Night Certificates redemption easier.

From this list, I’m surprised about how many options there are in the United States. Domestic travelers would surely look into Autograph Collection hotels if they can’t commit the time into going abroad.
