I would like to see that happen, because with seven one-night certificates you could create your own "sampler" package, and redeem individual certificates at different properties. For instance, you could spend 2 nights in Prague, 2 in Vienna, and 3 in Budapest as I did in 2009. That was great!

Yep, I'd like to see that happen, and would be very grateful if it does, but I won't hold my breath.
