You would each get half the points, and you'd each get a full 'stay'. If you choose points + miles, you'd also both get the full amount of miles for a stay.
If the reservation is already made, then see if you can book the second night under your name. You can always specify a shorter check-out for your reservation when he checks in.
Thanks, I figured as much. I know at Starwood properties it's easy to split the reservation down the middle, with a folio for each traveler.
But my problem is solved...At least for my benefit. The rate dropped $60 today from what it was over the weekend, and $80 less than what my friend had it booked at. But he's out of the country right now and can't book it, so I rebooked it from my logon. I'd still like to split the folio of possible--it's only fair for 2 diamonds to each get some credit out of it, but I'll gladly take it in its current format!
