T&Cs call for the member to stay and pay to earn credit for the stay. No shows are NOT supposed to get nights posted. If you can, show up. You don't even need to go to the room the swipe of your CC will show you were present.

So you have asked the property to violate the program rules and you're posting such on a public forum... Should your account be audited, they can reverse the credit and downgrade your status (and have cause to close your account). You are not alone being the only person not keeping track of their account but be prepared for changes to happen. Yes, I am a bit AR about it, but I actually track all my past and future stays to know where I stand renewing my status. We talk about these accounts being valuable assets but yet do nothing to know what's really happening. The last person I want being the only source of data is the vendor.
