Thanks!
Have you made the stay yet?
The credit would not post until the stay happened, just like the pay stay.
In fact, a redemption reservation would not be considered eligible activity to move the clock UNTIL after the reservation is consumed. It is also clearly said so in the T&Cs.
The T&Cs CLEARLY say redemption stay earns the same night credit as pay stay.
