The idea was that the card is offering double EQN so, as a card holder, you'll get two nights for every one night you earn starting Aug 23. So again, it's not about paying with the card, it's about you being a card holder when you check out and earn the EQN. (I haven't looked into the nitty gritty but this presumes you don't have to be registered or a cardholder at the start of the stay)
However, double EQN still requires that the EQN being doubled are earned from a qualifying stay. There's a problem if the OP's employer pays the hotel directly.
