Extending an award reservation in progress
I’m currently on the last night of an eight night award stay and want to extend my stay for three more nights (so 11 total), which it seems should trigger a second Fifth Night Free. However, two reps with Bonvoy Reservations have said they don’t have the ability to change a stay in progress and would have to charge me the full rate for all three nights, but that the hotel might be able to do it by calling Partner Support; one front desk person told me to call Bonvoy, and another told me he doesn’t know how to do anything with award stays and I should talk to his manager in the morning. Is what I’m asking for possible, or am I just wasting a bunch of people’s time (including my own)?
