The 3rd night is usually removed at check-out (although I don't see it mentioned in the rate rules this time), so the total shown in the reservation details is incorrect.

I understand both of these scenario's; but in my case, I was not looking at the total when I asked the question.
Mine is: VISA rate is $289.00 per nite. So 3 nites would be $289.00 X 2 = $578.00. Divide that by 3 nites, and the actual "cost" per night is $193. I can book the same room, same view, same dates, same
everything at a rate of $202.00 per nite. So - although the VISA rate does offer a savings, it is
$9 per night - which is not a "free" night.
Hence my question.....but based on your responses, perhaps it occurs only at the property I am considering.
