IC London mentioned moving me at the time of check-in, but when it came time to move from paid --> reward nights, they let me stay in the same suite......

The "moving you" thing seems to be most likely to happen at Asian properties, I've found, where they tend to be sticklers at following rules to a "T".

Yes, but for many of the above you mention is for the IC RA program which is known to specifically NOT give bennies on award stays.

True, while most Euro IC's give us full benefits on award stays. The rest of the world is hit and miss.

Trying to book 3 nights, 1 on points and 2 others with cash and AMB free night cert. How is an RA treated with such a room combo at the IC NYC Times Sq.

At this hotel the check in is key. As noted in the master thread, check in with Cherisma at the Amb desk, maybe bring her a small gift and be nice, and you will have a decent suite for the full stay.

Haven't I given you enough hints! Enjoy NYC and don't spend too much time in the hotel.

I'm doing the same thing with Bali...2 nights on BOBO for Club Duplex Suite and 2 nights for free room. At least I get the Club transfers, and hopefully they extend Club and let me keep the Duplex (or regular room - I dont care, just want the Club)
