that's been written in the T&C for years.
if you sign off on your final bill on a confirmation number, when the credit card get's it's final adjustment/payment, it is simultaneously submitted to IHG to generate the stay/points etc
a few years back i tried to argue the continuous stay as it ran from Dec 23 to Jan 3 at the Willard, and i wanted the nights, and points to accrue to the new year, this was when nights counted, pre 2017, it was several confirmation numbers, and IHG wouldn't allow it, and i demonstrated in my account from the previous two years (but those years it was one confirmation number) and i argued their term and conditions, no matter how many check in check out, considered one continuous stay, they wouldn't accept their own T&C.
i've never had a problem utilising different confirmation numbers for continuous stay for all types of reasons, utilizing credit card free nights, points redemption night, BOGO's etc.
