Also they are always running promotions, like the current one which is triple points (or miles) for rooms booked at their web site (double points or miles for all other bookings).
The 30-day rule also applies to Canada. It seems the rule could be overcome by booking 1 or 2 rooms; canceling 1 30 days prior; and then booking an award.
