If I stay at another Marriott chain hotel on the weekend, would I be able to earn points and nights at both locations?
According to the rules, You should be able to earn the points but not double-dip on nights.
That said, in your case I wouldn’t be surprised if it works. Your weekend stays will presumably post to your account before your long Aloft stay. Marriott’s IT sucks, as we know, and I’ve had your exact same scenario happen in the past and I did receive double night credit for those other stays.
If your account were to get audited for some reason the nights might get clawed back, but you’ll keep your points.
