If I use these to pay for the stay and incidentals, do I still get points for the amount I use on the cards?
Thanks!

Short answer yes, long answer you will earn incidental points on the entire stay, you will earn night/stay credit for the night you paid for (even though it's on a gift card/gift certificate)
