On night three, when I achieve my 10th night in the promotion, I should get the 10 K bonus, and both counters should reset to zero then. But I would be in that hotel two more nights, so my night counter should be 2 after checkout. I am just wondering about the stay counter. If the stay is applied at checkin, it would be reset to zero after night 3 and remain at zero upon checkout. If it is applied at checkout, it would be incremented by 1 at that time and I would have 1 stay toward the next bonus. In other words, I am wondering about the dynamics of this if you hit the stay/night level in the middle of a stay, rather than at the end of one.

Sooo, what are the best 1k/night properties? 
There hasn't been a better time for longer stays in cheap hotels with a partner. Just need to find a 5k/night hotel, both to have HH account and booking the hotels on both accounts for every other night. The result is 5k - 2k (per stay bonus) - 2k (after 5 stays 10k bonus) = 1k/night.
Even without the points purchase campaign, the 1000 points comes out at just 10USD, with the now expired 100% bonus it would've been 5USD.
So 2-month stay will cost just 300/600USD and both will be Diamonds by the end. Talk about value...
