Several hundred new card applicants are also silently wondering why, but chose to stay quiet on this topic. Now there's no need to call in, as the MBNA moles have taken note and will investigate.
There, I pushed it behind this page. Maybe this will help.

You can indeed use the $200 travel credit towards a FHR booking. As for your other question: when you book online, it says that the primary traveller must be the cardholder, so I believe that yes, the cardholder needs to be present. You may be able to find a way around it, but at least when booking online, the travel needs to be made in your name.
Good luck

Many Thanks! I always thought the $200 Credit is just like US issued airways CC can just use for airline upgrade/luggage fees only, never thought it can use FHR hotel
then essentially it's a good deal, just like spend $699-$200 (maybe 2 $200)=$499 buy 50K/60K(referral) Aeroplan miles , I will begin to churn every year

You can book online through travel.americanexpress.ca; you just have to sign in first. I've done so before and haven't had any issues.

one thing I do find out, correct me if I'm wrong............... credit score doesn't matter too much for home loan in Canada. New immigrant if pay 30% deposit can get home loan and Prime-0.7% easily, for people I know who don't use a lot of CC and won't have very good credit score also can get Prime-0.7% easily, customer if have a unresolved cell phone bill in past, just pay off the past due bill, also can get Prime-0.7%.............looks like credit score doesn't affect too much on loan rates

Just noticed on my RBC Avion statement that they will be having a 20% conversion bonus for WestJet Dollars. BA Avios are worth more than that to me even without the (hopefully upcoming) 50% conversion bonus..
