So, here's hoping another classic FT recommedation pays off. First, it was MR trips to HNL with 2 hour turnarounds, then it was coins, and now I'm holding 1 person meetings. (Wifes shakes head ....)
Keep us posted on what happens. So meeting rooms always require a contract to be signed? Or can one book through the hotel without a contract and still receive the ten nights?

I often book at an area CY property a room block of 30 rooms for 3 nights and always get the 10 elite nights credit. No conference room required. So this will be a nice little benefit if the 10 elite nights can also be earned for a separate "event" of a one-hour conference room rental. Is there a mininum time limit specified or does that vary by hotel?
