Yups.... if Citi is doing a credit after you pay for all 4 nights then it's like a corp booking and if the total charge is $400... they average it out across 4 days and give you $100 credit.

Unlike in India where the booking is done through hotels.com and is a Visa Infinite (maybe in partnership with Citi) benefit not a Citi Prestige benefit.
