As a point of reference, I do know that Starwood (where there are no blackout dates for award rooms), if there is a minimum night requirement on a paid stay, then there will be a similar minimum night requirement on an award room. And they also have a similar Plat room guarantee (72 hour requirement I think), but that also would be required to abide by any minimum night requirements that normal standard rooms would have.
