Can you or someone from SPG confirm whether distinguishable information is sent to the airlines from SPG when it's a N&F award?
Distinguishable as in they know it is a combined discount travel award? The answer would be "no". There is no way they could know this since the only thing they get is the transfer to the airline. The hotel gets the hotel portion, not the airline. It is going to look like any other transfer award they receive from SPG.
In that respect, it really isn't combined so I don't see how that conflicts with what their other concerns are with other hoteliers' frequent stay program awards.
