I totally understand not using points for pre-payment. But, this promotion doesn't require a full prepayment, only a 1 night deposit. If I'm booking an 8 or 10-night stay, a very sizeable portion of the room rate is only due on check-out. I'll just hope they don't enforce that. I like to redeem points as I go and not save them up.
