Seems like a regular promotion but suits me this period
Quite a list of hotels who opted out though

I do wonder how hotels make this decision between promotions.
e.g. Hilton Glasgow decided to opt out of the current weekends promotions, but it looks like they are back on for this promotion. Odd. Not that I'm complaining!
That leaves the only hotel not taking part in the UK as Aberdeen Treetops. Not bad going. US list is crazy.

I wonder how many of us use the fact that a hotel has opted out of one of these promos as a tie breaker and stay somewhere else and even more important whether the fact we do that is important to the managers of those hotels.
After all, you can't make money on a room that goes empty.
Right now, I've got over a dozen room nights booked the next few weeks and all are at facilities that participate.

So if you book a 2x points package, you'd actually get 3x but not on base points. Both the Q2 promo and the 2x points bump would be in the bonus points. If I'm understanding that correctly.
Edit: So I just registered and got the email and it actually says in the email you can get 4x with the double miles promotion.
So they are doubling your base points + the Q2 2X promotion with a double points pkg stay.

1st line above refers to 4x with double miles.
follow-up line refers to doubling points.
so, I'm not sure which you're talking about.
Regardless, I don't think they'll double your base points.
from the bottom of the sign-up page:
"Double Points" means you will receive a bonus equal to the number of Base Points earned during a stay. Bonus Points earned on Base Points do not count toward tier qualification
My guess is that the 4x messaging in the confirmation email is an error by an excited marketing person who doesn't understand how the program works.

I'm not sure why I typed miles in that other sentence either.
Presumably you'd get the base points + the double points (Q2 promo as bonus points) and then if you booked 2x points package you'd get double your base + bonus.
example:
1000 points base
1000 points new Q2 promo
2000 points bonus for 2x package if you booked it.
That would be nice.

I tried to upload a screenshot but the customer site I'm at today has all the image upload places blocked.
