Ritz Carlton Certs...

[elim]

We have a 3 night stay at a tier 5 RC planned. I have 2 tier 4 Certs. Is their any value of tier 1-4 certificates against a tier 5 stay? Has anyone tried? I don't want to take a trip just to use them, would rather apply them towards a planned stay (cert plus cash).

Thanks for any help

There is not. This is why the points offers for the Ritz were so much better, you could use them for higher category Marriott or higher tier Ritz

Good question. I'm new to the Ritz-Carlton credit and hotels.  Looking forward to seeing the responses to this thread.

Waiting on new ritz card now. Other than tiers are certs limited to cost per night or by major calendar black outs? Can I stack club status on free nights?

There is no cost per night stipulations, just has to be a tier 1-4. There are no blackout dates that I was aware of. You are not allowed to stack the club upgrade on top of the certs. The upgrades can only be used on paid stays.

I have stayed in "Downtown USA" on so many trips lately (Downtown Detroit today), Wanted to apply the certs to a getaway stay at tier5 Beaver Creek.

Certificates can only be used for their designated hotel category or tier.

Can't stack with any other offers, like club upgrade or $100 credit, though certificates can be used in conjunction with points to achieve a 5th night free booking.

There are no "blackout" dates per se, but hotels can limit the amount of award availability they have. Usually not an issue except if there happens to be a big event of some kind. (think comic con, super bowl, nba playoffs, etc)
