In January the Residence Inn Tempe (where I had no group contract) routed all room charges to my room (not at my request). The result was around $7K in charges on my room, but I received no MR points (because I could only be given points on three of the rooms). I had to call in to get the MR points added manually. If doing this will get me spend credit for all of my rooms, I'll opt for this strategy and have them add points manually.

I just need to know what the policy is. Until I know, I'm not signing any group contracts that I can't get out of. I'm just booking (lots of) individual cancelable rooms.
This:

EARN

Earn points on all eligible charges, including rooms, food and beverage, audio visual charges and more.
  • Earn more as you achieve elite status. Per each qualifying event, base members can earn up to 60,000 points (2 points per $1 USD); while Platinum Premier Elite members can earn up to 105,000 points per qualifying event.
See benefits chart below for details.

If you choose to earn frequent flyer airline miles instead of points, all member tiers can earn a maximum of 20,000 miles (1 mile per $1 USD) per qualifying event.
  • Get 10 Elite Qualifying Nights when you book your first meeting — and achieve Silver Elite status automatically.
  • Plus, you’ll earn one Elite Qualifying Night for every additional 20 room nights you book — up to 20 Elite Qualifying Nights per contract.
