Promos usually refer to qualifying dates irrespective of check in or check out activity and hence actual stays can straddle the start or end dates of the promo even if the qualifying stay days are contained within the promo dates

I'm pretty sure that stays that straddle the end date (ie that night of December 5-6) will successfully post the promo for the nights up to and including the night of December 5-6 if the guest checks out some days later.

I just want to check on this as you use the phrase "check out" and not "qualify" which I think is what you mean. If I am wrong and members must actually check out (and leave) on December 6 then this should be highlighted in bold, red, flashing lights. Unless I've dreamed that stays that straddle start and end dates of promos have correctly posted the promo points for the qualifying nights within the stay before now.
I'm sorry, I didn't see this before.

​​​​​​I semi-retract my previous statement to the other poster - the stay does not have to end by December 6, but it cannot start on December 6. December 5 is fine.

Longer stays crossing the December 6 threshold will receive credit.
