The LNF team insisted that they had to process a LNF for all 3 nights, which I wouldn't have been interested in because of the absurd pricing, and naturally, it wasn't approved.
I have came across this as well... I usually book the point award after the LNF is approved ... then no problem ... This I have used a lot when staying in Japan where prices can be very cheap during the week but explode during Fri and especially Sat. Here even buying MAR points can save you $$$.
I asked them how an award booking could be an eligible booking for an LNF claim when MR rates are available but never received an intelligent answer did not expect one either ...
