How many nights will I receive credit for with IC in this situation?
I believe that I may be on track this year to receive the RA invite. However, I have a question regarding an upcoming stay.
I have the following two separately booked reservations at the Palazzo in Las Vegas:
Aug 13-17
Aug 14-18 (for a friend but I booked it with my IHG MC and will check in for them as I will already be there)
Will I get credit for 8 nights or 4 nights? If 8, will all 8 nights count towards the 20 paid nights at IC's to qualify for RA status?
(I know I will only get the 2000 points max for staying with each)
Thanks!

You should get 4 nights for 13-17.
Not sure how they will treat the 14-18 stay, either you get nothing (if they count everything as overlapping stay) or 1 night (for the last night).

In my experience, overlapping stays can get points credit but are NOT qualifying nights towards elite status.

In my experience you will not get points for two rooms at the same date. The second stay/hotel will show up as 'overlapping stay' with 0 points.
You should get 4 nights for 13-17.

Thank you to all who replied. ^^
Another question:
Say I have two hotels booked in two different states at the same time...will I get full points for both hotel stays? (another situation where I booked for a friend with my IHG MC to get me the points/miles and he just paid me in cash/ the other stay is actually mine for work)

This is a problem when you have a day room in Asia before your departure to America and then a room for the (next) night which is still the same calendar day.
