FM link for those interested: https://frequentmiler.boardingarea.com/ ... -and-more/

Biggest points from FM:

The designation of properties as Peak or Off-Peak will be based on demand
Standard rates will be in effect “majority of time”
There will be an “even distribution between Off-Peak and Peak rates portfolio wide.” (note that this means that one some properties could be peak the majority of the time while others are off-peak the majority of the time)
Starting September 14, Marriott’s flexible date finder on Marriott.com can be used to identify when a property is in peak or off-peak

This will be painful for those with 35k FN certificates while 50k FN certs could possibly move up a category if you happen to find an off-peak date.

My body is ready for a new recession. Hopefully rewards programs become rewarding again after one.

I wish I could share your optimism.

I don't think this is likely. I doubt they'd change course on things recently implemented.
