2 rooms for one night
Hi
i booked two rooms and paid for in my my name for one night at the Manchester Renaisance. I have only been credited with points for one room and one night credit towards my elite status. Does anyone have any advice - I thought at least I should receive points for the second room.
Many thanks

IIRC in order to earn points on multiple rooms, the hotel has to move the second room charges onto your main folio at check out.
You will definitely only receive the one night credit.

Paying for multiple concurrent rooms: points earned
Let's say I book three rooms for 5 days at a Marriott, at $100/night/room, and I stay in one of the rooms. Total $1500. I expect to get five-night credits. How many points should I get? 5000? 15000? Leave out status bonuses to keep the math simple.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Earning stay credit on multiple rooms
If I book rooms at two hotels in same city on the same nights, will I receive stay credit for both ?
And what's about a situation where I book two rooms at the same hotel for the same duration of the stay ?
Thanks & regards,

Marriott Bonvy will not grant an Elite Night Credit (ENC) or points for the same night at different properties.
In fact, there are numerous reports of longer stays, with an extra stay elsewhere for one night, which posts first, and prevents the ENCs from the longer stay from posting, requiring major effort to unravel.
On the other hand, one can earn points for up to three rooms at a single property, though ENCs for only one of them.
This is all explained more thoroughly in the Marriott Bonvy Terms & Conditions (T & Cs).

This ends up with me booking the cheap property with Marriott and the expensive one I need in parallel elsewhere. Instead of both properties being Marriott ones.
I'm glad I'm not a stakeholder...

Just want to confirm the info in this thread on a slightly different but related topic:
For lifetime status (gold, platinum, etc), booking multiple rooms for the same nights of stay still does not get you extra credit towards lifetime, aside from your own 1 room, is that right?
Thanks!

Correct. Booking multiple rooms can garner additional points, but never an extra Elite Qualifying Night (EQN).
Absent some sort of EQN bonus promotion, the most one can earn is one EQN per calendar night, no matter how many rooms or properties one stays in or pays for.
This EQN limitation applies to both annual and lifetime Elite status qualification.
Beaucoup Bonv∘y!

This is an old thread, but just wanted to mention - I really miss this from the SPG days. Especially as our family has grown and we are almost always booking two rooms on personal travel. Never expect to see it back, but it would be great if it did.
