Will I have any issue checking in as the 2nd person in the room, if calling before to add me to the reservation. I know Amex has some specific rules for booking in the cardholders name, but wasn't sure if it was the same as every other free annual night in the US where a 2nd person can check in / check out with no issues if added to the reservation before. I also have a credit card that has both of our names on the same card (business card) if that helps.
It will probably vary by property but in a similar situation I have been able to check in but was not allowed to "unlock" the FHR benefits on the stay until the person whose name is on the booking arrived. If you have your own Amex Platinum that may possibly help.
