As soon as I changed to one night, the rate went up to $269 for tonight. I know weekend rates are lower. But I never knew it could pay to book two nights sometimes. So not only the rates for two nights total are $100 lower than one night, they also qualified for the $100 voucher.
And you get 2 nights that count towards status, 2 nights towards a megabonus (if your offer requires nights instead of stays), and higher point earnings. you also get a much later check-out without a hassle
. We often book 2, use one.
