We aren't required to give up one of the $200 credits or be forced to stay 2 completely separate times at an FHR hotel because some people here consider it gaming the system when it clearly is not.
Exactly my point. I don't see that as gaming. The $200 credit is once per year per card so using it across multiple cards for multiple reservations shouldn't constitute as gaming. The $100 on-property credit per stay is for all FHR stays so breaking your "stay" into multiple "stays" to get multiple credits is where the "gaming" component comes in. Taking the example of the canonical Conrad Vegas where rooms are sub $200 on many occasions, as far as the $200 credit is concerned, no matter how you slice and dice it, you will only get a max of $200 per card. However with the $100 on-property credit, folks were booking 5 one-night stays to get $500 credit on a less than $1000 stay. That's gaming.
