My guess is it will likely work, but if she were to call the hotel ahead of time and ask, "I see the extra benefits are only once per stay, but would it be okay if we make two reservations so we can be the benefits both nights?" the hotel operator would say no, explaining it's one stay. While it's two reservations, the people are staying two nights so it is a single stay. She knows it's potentially wrong or she wouldn't be asking and wouldn't need to make the odd reservations. The point is she should be prepared that the hotel might not buy this. She should know there is risk involved.

The hotel went out of its way to give the benefits once per stay. Do you think they would be that but then make the rule so easily bypassed that all you have to do is switch spouses names on a reservation? The hotel operators aren't that stupid.
