Accidental I have booked the F&F rate at the HI Bali. After checking my account I have noticed that I've received points and a qualifying stay which was counting towards my RA status which is renewed right now.
I was wondering if others can report the same, did they change the system? As I'm planning a stay over eastern, it would be great to uses the F&F, save costs and renew the RA in the same way....

I have tried booking this rate over the last couple of weeks for various travel plans in June (Seattle, Orlando), and September (Lisbon, Athens, var UK) and noticed that the F&F rate was the same or more than the lowest other rates that earned points (Adv purchase or AAA) otherwise available thus providing no savings. When I originally compared back in Jan - Feb there were savings. Anyone else notice this lately?

Booked one room with F&F in March 2011 for stay in April 2011 at Johannesburg IC O.R. Tambo International Airport. CC charged on check-out date. Clerk didn't want my F&F voucher, so I kept it. Upgraded to a corner executive room. No PC credit as expected.

Very limited availability ?
This is a very long thread so I have not read every post, but I've skimmed through most of it, and not seen the answer to my question.
So, the title suggests that this rate is available at all ICHG hotels. But trying various dates in London in July I find only a very limited selection (10-20% of hotels) offering the rate.
Is this normal ?

Voucher
Is the voucher supposed to be just a form I fill out?
Do I just put this fella's name in for the Employee line or is there a code I should know?
Also, does booking this rate typically come with an upgrade upon check in? How about free breakfast buffet?
Thanks!

Upgrade - depends on hotel, some take a dim view on F&F bookings, some are fine and treat them like full price bookings. Assume you will be at the back of the queue behind people with the same status as you but who are paying a higher rate.
Breakfast only included if you can get a club room on F&F or stay at a HIX where everyone gets it
