I haven't yet qualified for this promo and I don't see the Cash Card on the list of redemption options. Has anyone used this yet? Some questions are:
1) Is redemption by invitation only? I know it says you must have three stays during the promo to qualify, but how do you redeem?
2) Are you limited to one card per 3 stays or can you burn more points for additional cards once you qualify?
3) Are points pulled FIFO (i.e. old points) or from current bucket?

I can't say that I looked prior to today so I can't confirm whether you have to surpass the 3 night mark for it to show up. I have two bonus' to my credit at the moment and when I select "redeem points", the 14k $50 card option shows up at the top of the screen. It specifically says "Summer Promotion $50 Cash Card".
When I select that option, it only allows me to select only one card (there is no option for multiple cards) - I am assuming that one can simply go through the process multiple times.
I was also wondering about the FIFO concept - I am not particularly interested in the cash card option - the T&C's for this promo period indicate that there is a deadline for redemption for the card but the wording (to me anyway) also indicates that the points generated from this promo don't have to be used for the cash card.

Ok, just to close this out:
1) The reward showed up on my webpage after the first qualification, until then was not on the list of choices.
2) So far no limit on the number of redemptions, although they have to be submitted one at a time, and just to be safe I did it on different days.
3) Lastly, points did come out of 2009 bucket, so no worries about loosing points.
A final note, the first batch of cards showed up. The cards show a March 2010 expiration date AND the material inside shows a $3/month maintenance fee after the first six month. Also, card was denied when trying to burn it at a restaurant with the tab being split (material stated some places try to authorize for 120% of tab). So plan on using the last few dollars elsewhere.
