I possible note about a 5-night award. Usually that means you ordered a "pay for 4 get the 5th night free" award. So if you were to leave 1 night early, you wouldn't be getting anything back as that would be the free night. If you leave 2 nights early, you would at best get 1 night's points back (and so on).
