One detail you should be aware of: FS takes a three night deposit at time of booking, and the credit does not apply towards funds already deposited. So the scenario you are describing works like this:

Three night's deposit (room + tax) = $415 x 1.28 x 3 = $1,593.60

At checkout, you will have a fourth's night room and tax on your bill of $531.20. Your remaining credit of $702.80 can go towards lunch, dinner, spa, golf, and other incidental charges (about $88 per person per day).
Actually, for their $1,234 package, the property only takes a 2-night deposit. (They've made an exception for this package.)

Two night's deposit = $415 x 1.28 x 3 = $1,062.40

Thus, the remaining credit to go towards incidentals is only $171.60 (which can be used up pretty easily).
