Language technicality: Are promotion dates really "between" the stated dates?
The end of Choice's really great 8,000 point (after 2 stay) promotion is quickly growing to a close (thanks for the bonus points BTW...you've kept me loyeal to Choice.)
The terms of the promotions state qualifying stay must start be between Feb 28 and May 15.
Does a stay count where the check in day is May 15? That isn't technically "between" Feb 28 and May 15, but sometimes promotions run that way.

Actually, the terms state:
"After a second qualifying stay with arrival between 2/28/13 and 5/15/13"
It's right there in post 1 of the main thread about this promo:

It's clear to me that "arrival" means the day you arrive must be by May 15, but you can check out after May 15.

I've edited the original thread title to more clearly express the OP's question.
Contrast:It's a legitimate question, one which perhaps has been asked and answered previously, but I'm not a CP expert so I can only guess.
Contrast:
- Stated Language: "After a second qualifying stay with arrival between 2/28/13 and 5/15/13" technically means valid arrival dates are 3/1/13 through 5/14/13.
- Alternate Language: "After a second qualifying stay with arrival from 2/28/13 through 5/15/13" would mean valid arrival dates are 2/28/13 through 5/15/13.
