I've never done web check-in but was wondering if one booked a prepaid rate and had to cancel, i.e. no show, by checking in this way would you at least get stay credits and points? (Not expecting $ back on a prepaid.) Would you actually get a e-check out email if you never collected a keycard at the front desk?

I realize if this were indeed the case, we could all start doing Mattress Runs to various HPs in Denver to earn our points, free "every 2 stays" rooms, and stay credits for status!
