Any reports of doing this successfully with SPG?
I'd be interested in doing this. We don't have 28 nights planned anywhere, just 7 nights across 3 weekend trips. That way we don't have to hotel hop at 2 hotels/city. I don't have any chance of making platinum anyways if I lose those 3 stays and put them in my husband's account. We'd each earn 1 FRN and then when booking, I'd hope the hotel I want has two nights available that can be booked separately so I could use each one.
