Reposting this as it seems to bear repeating (again).
-Is the charge made on a qualifying hotels main merchant account?
- Congratulations, you qualify for the credit.
- But I didn't stay there.
- See above.
- But it wasn't for a room rate.
- See above.
- ok but I stayed at the hotel and had a separate charge for the restaurant/spa/singing telegram. It was billed by the singing telegram account. I get the credit anyway, right?
-- No
Questions about whether a particular charge at a particular hotel would be charged by the generic hotel account or a separate merchant account are best addressed in the threads for the particular hotel. As for data points, across the various threads since the Aspire was first introduced, there are probably 100.
