Earning miles for another person's room
After searching for 10 minutes to no avail, I'll just post the question...
I paid for 4 rooms at the Hyatt Dearborn for some out of town business colleagues. When I stopped by the hotel to pick up the invoices, I pulled out my Northwest Visa card and the front desk agent asked if I wanted to receive miles for the rooms.
My understanding has always been that you can only receive miles/points if you actually stay in the room, not simply to pay for it.
This was 2 weeks ago, and nothing has posted yet.
Any thoughts as to whether I'll actually get the miles?
