I also did some phantom prepaid stays 1-3 nights and at least one "free cancellation" prepaid stay. I also managed to find one of the Unicorn-like big price drop on click through and that worked too.

As expected, this posted just fine. It was at night day 4/early morning day 5 after checkout. This is just like all of our past reservations.

It did carry the 30% bonus that we had gotten in September. mrs. brp's reservation was two days later so it will still be another day or so before posting.

Cheers.
