Any concerns with an adult child or in Europe?
You are required to check in personally to earn elite qualifying nights and elite benefits.
From the Bonvoy Ts & Cs:
2.1.d. Qualifying Stay. A “Stay" or “Qualifying Stay” means all consecutive nights a Member registers for, and personally pays and stays at any Participating Property, for which (i) the room is billed to the Member, or (ii) the guest room is direct billed to the company who has arranged payment for the Member’s stay that is not associated with a convention or group meeting.
Keep in mind that European hotels can and do ask to see your passport.
