Well I earned the award by accumulating 60 nights starting on
January 1, 2017. That's definitely one error of fact in the Official Terms and Conditions. I wonder how many other errors are in there, waiting to be discovered?
So, yes, if we ignore the bald-face errors which are already known, and if we assume that the remaining words are 100% accurate, then it takes 60 nights in 2018 to get the Free Cat 1-7.
