I was initially going to stay at the Westin exclusively to earn more SPG points in order to transfer out to Marriott at 3x value but w/ this more enticing free night promo by Marriott, I'm going to switch it up to take advantage of both offers. So 3 hotels total.

I just want to better understand how the free night is awarded based on category and tier in order to determine which properties to book. What if my stays include a category 7 and 8 hotel; which would the free night award reflect? Is the free night awarded in the form of a voucher or points and does it matter what category/tier of property we stay at?
