I have a follow-up clarification question for Starwood Lurkers.
Does multiple rooms elite credit apply to both nights and stays?
For example: I book 2 rooms for a 2-night stay.
Do I get 4 nights elite credit and 2 stays elite credit earned for my account?
Or do I get 4 nights elite credit and only 1 stay elite credit?

Actually, they don't...and haven't since March 1, 2012.
Now, a member can earn Starpoints, stay, and night credit for up to three rooms when booking an eligible rate. This means if a member buys 3 rooms for 3 nights, he gets 3 stays for 9 nights.

I wonder whether the extra rooms must be occupied by anyone. For instance, instead of someone doing a mattress run to three properties for one night each, they just book three rooms at the cheapest place, stay that night, and problem solved.
IMO this new rule seems to be in conflict with what I always perceived to be the SPG (and other hotel program) idea that only stays by the member and not their friends and family cound toward making elite status. This is not a change I like. I also don't like the way it seems to have been burried in a new version of the T&C without any explicit announcement; it's strange that no one here found it until now, three and a half months after this new policy began.

Not that I'm aware of, other than in the new Terms and Conditions, which were published on March 1st.

I looked back and this was first discovered (in another thread) early last month. Just didn't get a lot of traction until now. Yes, it would have been nice if SPG would have made a formal announcement, or at least the Lurker's doing like they did for the new Plat levels, but I haven't found a way to turn back the clock. I guess need to make a habit of re-reading T&Cs on a periodic schedule.

Can anyone tell me if this works for rewards stay as well?
For example, if I book two seperate rooms, one night each, using points, and I stay in one of them, and I pay for the incidental costs of both room, etc, will be credited with 2 stays and 2 nights?
