Rates fluctuate a lot. You might want to book one room at a property using points, and another on a flexible cash rate….both through the chain’s app or website. The reservations would be under the same name, representing an elite member.

Then, close to the cancellation deadline, you’d cancel one or the other.

Is there any danger the hotel or chain would automatically cancel one reservation, seeing the same name for the same nights at the same property?
