My wife is planning on taking the kids on the award stay. Her name is on the reservation, but it's booked under my name.
Is there any danger in one or both of these reservations being cancelled? The award stay is the priority due to availability and special events occurring that day. The business trip doesn't worry me due to the availability of rooms nearby.
Should I remake the business-trip reservation without my HH# and add it at check-in?
The rezzies are not likely to get cancelled, but what may happen is you will only get credit for the least stay. If you're missing the entire award stay, I'd suggest calling HH and letting them know what's happening and make sure your wife will be allowed to check in (her name on the rez should be enough, but...). You are allowed to gift an award stay with no issues. The only issue may be status benefits. I've gifted a few stays and they got my on-site benefits, but it wasn't demanded.
