Trying to understand how properties view points stays vs cash.
1. No

2. HH

3. The same as any reservation, no.

From an operational standpoint, redemption stays and cash are the same thing. It's just another stay.
From a P&L standpoint, unless the property is almost sold out, it's essentially a break even proposition at best.
