I have always found it to be that way, and I understand and agree why they do it that way. If they did not, there would be guests who would only stay part of the qualifying time, and leave early, and still have benefit of the free night if they did not charge for all the nights and adjust the free night at checkout. It is the same thing when you book a rewards night, you must give them a credit card to reserve the room, and if you do not show up, they will not use your rewards points, but they will charge your credit card for the room charge, since they could not charge a regular room night charge to a regular paying customer. Make sense?
