My pleasure to share as I understand not everyone looks past the standard WOH program earning
There are a few of reasons I may do this on a given stay
One is when I am traveling around the world I don't want to access bank accounts online @ international destinations and risk potential hacks
I have complete control over billing and payment in advance
The other is time sensitive partner promotions with credit cards and targeted offers that yield me tens of thousands of points over the course of a year by simply paying for the stay in advance
within the allowable promotional period so the offer is activated.It is transaction based not based on actual stay check in and check out
This allows to double or triple dip per stay if other promotions may be running
