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.
