Multiple nights credit

Hi all, I have a three nights stay coming up that I booked with cash on 1st and 3rd night. The rate for the second night was 3 times the other nights, so I used points. Will I get 3 stay credits since it shows as 3 different reservations due to the rate difference?

Unlikely, as they should merge them together into one reservation, but your mileage may vary.

If they ask you to change rooms each night (and check out from 11AM to 3PM), then you've got a chance!

I don't have first-hand experience with this, but do have a friend who used this exact approach to score 3 stay credits. This was within the past year, but I don't know if it still works.

Most likely this was a processing error. Note, if you friends account is audited, he/she could lose nights/stay credit and/or status. I would not suggest anyone do this as a strategy for obtaining status.

The OP should speak with the FD staff when checking in so they can combine the reservations, if they already havent.

Please post the friend's details so that his account can be audited and any status improperly granted can be reversed.

IME when I change rates and rezzies in the middle of a stay, I usually (but not always) get the additional stay credit. I don't complain when I don't because I do not believe that I'm entitled to it.
