Stay= check in and out, but not to the same hotel. There are also other types of bonus available, such as for every 12 nights you stay you can get 25000 points (points required 1 night in JW Seoul).
However with the rate you book you can redeem a cat 2-3 hotel for 1 night, so it's attractive to get the LNF rate.

For all retail hotels, we act as an agent on your behalf and we will dispatch a confirmation invoice to you which shall confirm your booking with the hotel. The hotel will debit payment from you for the accommodation at the time of checkout. You will be advised of all such amounts during the booking process.>>
I'm a little concerned that the LNF will fail, as it's an advance purchase with pre-payment. The website says cancellation is through them and not the hotel. I suppose the only way to find out is to book and send in the lower price to customer services.
The rate you found has a 1 day cancellation policy, so why don't you try booking it when it's 9am US Western time today and wait 22 hours before cancelling your reservation if it doesn't go through?
LNF always reply within 24 hours.
