Most hotels will allow BOGO use on packages, some will only grant package benefits on the paid night, some will let you have them on the free night as well. I always go in with the expectation that you won't be getting the benefits on the free night, but I've been positively surprised a number of times in the past. As far as the 25k point offer is concerned, I would assume that there's an 80% chance of getting the bonus points on a weekend stay with BOGO.

The free BOGO night almost always posts as a qualifying night.

San Francisco IC BOGO
My ( old style ) BOGO certificate is expiring in Sep, so I am thinking about a quick trip to San Francisco. Does anyone have any experience with either ICs and their BOGO attitude? Nearly every one of the IC Managers I have talked to has recommended the Mark Hopkins property. What's the consensus here?
Thanks for your info.

Personally, since they've been giving lounge access to RAs, I've been spending more time at the MH. They have a fabulous Lounge. However you seem to indicate you are an AMB...sorry can't help from that perspective. I would think both are used to BOGOs though.

Unable to book club room with new BOGO cert
Hi,
Has anyone noticed this yet ? I am unable to book a Club Room with the new BOGO cert ?
There were only 2 options at the selection screen: Either a Superior Room or a Deluxe Room. Club rooms do not seem to be available.
This really sucks!
regds,
Eddie

Sydney IC limits BOGO rooms
Yes I noticed something similar when I went to look at ambassador weekend rates at Sydney. It seems that they only offer standard room and bay view now. Although maybe you could pay the club access surcharge and get access that way. But you wouldn't be able to get an upgrade to a suite with those room options.
