I know there is another thread on the subject, but I cannot call it up because search is not working properly at the moment.

For those using a "Be My Guest" certificate recently:

1. When did you first notify the hotel that you were using the certificate (at time of reservation, at time of check-in, or at time of check-out)?

2. Did you receive both night and point credit when you used the certificate (points for the value of the room and not just for incidentals)?

3. If I am named on the certificate, is it possible to give it to someone else in my traveling party to use (in case, the answer to #2 above is "points are not earned for the use of the certificate")?
