Hi all, currently have 42 EQN, including 4 of which that counted towards the current promo of stay 10 nights, earn a free cat 1-4 certificate. Wondering which of these activities counts towards standard EQN, and if there is any variance for this promo? (and for bonus, if you used a free cert at a property brand you haven't been to before, will it count for brand explorer?)

Confirmed
-Paying with cash
-Paying with gift card

I am uncertain
-Paying with points
-Using an existing Cat. 1-4 or 7 certificate
-Room booked as a promotional rate, stay 2 nights, get 3rd night free. Price breakdown indeed says something like $200, $200, $0 - Does this earn 2 or 3 nights?

I have to ask because I have 3 nights booked in June for a wedding a day before this whole promotion expires. Don't want to end one night short.

Feel free to come up with other odd categories/ways to book rooms if you'd like me to add them to the list to help someone in the future.
