Generally speaking, other than those properties that have been identified as being “challenging” for GC use, are properties amenable to at checkout our saying (for example) “please charge $50 to this Biz Plat card, $50 to this other Biz Plat card, $50 to each of these 2 or 3 or 4 GCs and the remaining balance to the credit card on file”?

Are hotels happy to get their/our money however they can or do they not want to deal with that sort of hassle/complication?

Thank you.

(I got though college and medical school and all sorts of Navy training and private pilot training by asking questions in group settings about which I well knew the answer but thought other people might not be so certain. Many classmates in all sorts of settings have said to me “thank you for asking that question, I wasn’t sure about it but I didn’t want to ask the question because I thought I was the only one who didn’t understand and I didn’t want to look stupid”. Of course, the appearance of stupidity has never stopped me from doing anything 😉.)
yes. u can always just split payment via CC directly but depends on many factors. whole point of GCs is preserving the credit for future use or buy/sell. or have frens/fam use the credit without having to give them ur card or AU.

but as u noted, eventually, if certain properties get too many $50 GC split payments, they may limit the number of payments forms. i can totally see this. front desk will say something about fraud and scam etc etc.
