We stayed at the JW in Orlando. We wanted to use points for 4 nights. However, the 1st night of our stay points were unavailable so we paid for it.

We got credit for all 4 nights.

This worked again in Aruba. So, if I need the nights, I pay the first night and use points the rest of the time.
This is very good info. Do you need to get the reservations "knitted together" under one confirmation number for this to work? I imagine the answer is yes, when I have had one "stay" as two consecutive resrevations it has always posted separately.
