I know this is a strange question. But the situation is this. The conference I was set to attend as a main speaker has a last minute change in venue. From the east side of the city to the west side. It's a huge city and by cab is going to be one hour, with cab fare around $50-$70 USD. The hotel I have booked is prepaid, no refund.

To conference of course gave me the ok to book at a nearby hotel of my choice with full reimbursement. But of course this got me thinking. Instead of cancelling my previous hotel, can I just keep the booking, check-in, not stay there, check-out. Would SPG allow me to have double-booking of exact same dates at two different SPG properties and get stays/points for both? Or will this cause some alarm to be sound and only one stay/points will be credited?

Thank you for your answers.

Asked and answered elsewhere. Typically no credit in two different properties on the same date. About the only exception is when crossing the date line and then will take a bit of talking. Now you can try it, and if it posts, great until SPG does an audit and pulls one or both from your account.
