I am wondering if anyone has been checked into two different hotels that are part of the same chain on the same night and received miles/credit for both stays.</font>
Now and again I have done this. It is not that unusual for me. I live in Denver, but have an office in Chicago, and clients in several other cities. Usually, if I have to go to another city, I check out of the Chicago hotel, fly elesewhere (Hartford, LA, wherever) and check in there.

Sometimes, however, the need to visit another city occurs with very little notice. Sometimes, then, I do not check out of my hotel, but leave most of my stuff and fly wherever and check in to a second hotel. SOmetimes, this has been the same hotel chain (recent example: Sheraton Chicago NW and Westin Century Plaza; have done so with Hiltons, too). In each case, I absolutely got point credit for each stay, even if they overlapped.

Its not something I like to make a habit of doing, as it is a bit wasteful, but sometimes it couldn't be helped.
