Dawn,

Of all the major hotel chains only Hilton allows double dipping, but Hilton does have restrictions the rest dont such as only receiving points on stays booked directly with them....another thing to note is MR does offer points on eligible stays for as long as you stay while others limit the number of nights to 30 max (so with Marriott as long as you're checked-in on an eligible rate you are earning points/night credit)
