Used 8 FNC and called the hotel to place advance deposits for 2023's credits since it was $250 annual at the time. Called back after Jan 1 to place advance deposits for the 1st half of 2024 with the new card changes. All successful and confirmed the amount of positive balance on my folio with receipt. When I complete my stay and before checkout, I will spread the remaining balance between 8 cards, $200 each. The 2023 credits took 8-9 days to credit my account and 2024 credits took 3 days. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this and I absolutely love taking advatage of these perks!
