What I'm wondering is...
I'm staying at a Courtyard one night, checking out 7/15. Then I'm spending 10 days at a Vacation Club. Will the one night at CY count as my first stay?
My understanding, from a different targeted promotion with similar terms, is that a "stay" is defined as one or more consecutive nights at the same property, regardless of check-in and check-out activity. So, IMO, the CY stay will count as the first stay and the MVCI stay, if not an owner/exchange stay, should double, even if it begins the same day as the CY checkout. That should net you a cool 40-50K points, plus your elite bonus and MR CC bonus.
Enjoy!
