I have been educated by the wise Beckles that as long as you charge any incidentals such as food, etc. to your room during your award stay, it will count as a stay (and of course you earn points on the incidental charges).

I have been told by the Diamond desk that yes they count as nights and stays (as long as something charged to the room that qualifies) but at the end of the year they do NOT count towards requalifying. So if have 60 nights or 28 stays and if any of them were award they won't be counted and you won't requalify.

Mrs Mikey and I stayed at Zurich Airport Hilton after a tour of Switzerland. No charges to room. We got miles and points and credit for a night on a freebie....I was shocked

Reward stays to count for VIP status
I did a search and couldn't find a mention of the following.
Effective January 1, 2003, your Reward stays will count toward VIP tier qualification. And HHonors VIP members will receive the VIP point bonus on Base points earned for incidental spending during HHonors hotel Reward Stays. It all adds up to putting you on a faster track to enjoying exclusive VIP privileges!
