How to Use a Marriott Free Night Certificate to Make a Free One Night Reservation

If you have a Chase Marriott Rewards Credit Card, you get a free night certificate every year you pay the annual fee.  There are two things I dislike about the free night certificates.  Firstly, the free night certificate is only valid for 6 months (can be extended by calling Chase/Marriott during the last month of validity).  Secondly, you can only use the free night certificate at a category 1-5 hotel (Marriott has 8 hotel categories).  To use your free night certificate, log into your Marriott account (link) and click the link titled “You Have 1 Unused Certificate”.  Clicking that link will take you directly to your activity page (link).
