Question: Staying in multiple properties concurrently
If one books concurrent stays at multiple properties crediting to the same rewards account, will all nights count towards status? (assume the nights independently would count)

Yes, it does work "sometimes" but it is not allowed in the T&Cs and can be difficult to get worked out. When I've had issues it seem the system/person picked the stay granting the lesser credit would stick and the longer stay would be denied. Some CSRs are a bit more creative in getting things done while others are not willing to go out of their way to fix something.

Huh. I've had more of acrophobia's experience than Roger's, but my "side-stay" has been only a day or two at most while I'm concurrently in the other place for a week or more.

(which was usually my routine when I'd needed to do it)

I lived in an autograph for over two years, and a hilton before that. I did contantly travel as well and at one point had 3 rooms in separate marriott properties. They all posted incl. the status nights, but i did indeed receive an account audit at one point. At least marriott system is better than hilton, i.e. no caps on earnable points.

I have spent several months at a Le Meridien while having to take occasional side trips to other cities, and it was both easier and cheaper to keep my main room than check out and check in again (that particular state exempted long term stays from hotel taxes).
Got all my credits, never had a problem. (Of course, this was pre-Marriott).

Yes, but as shown, there are valid reasons to override, but I would not expect the system to do it without human intervention. As I've heard way too many times, they will make a "one-time exception".
