I see what you’re saying. I thought it worked for me a couple of days ago, but now that I’m trying to repeat it, I see that the hotel offers a package rate which is the same price as AAA rate. Maybe that’s what I was seeing. I’ll amend my post.

Let us know if calling lets you get the paid night for the lowest available rate. I'd like to do a prepaid rate myself for a 1 nt paid, 2 nt points reservation (although I could see this not working for a single reservation since points terms are different than prepaid terms).

I don't have that issue. I was able to make a 6-night booking, with the cheapest paid night chosen in the middle of the stay, and the free night was still there. So it was 4 points nights, one night free and a paid night. All of this should suffice to give me 12 nights in the promo, hopefully.

How will a promotion like this mesh with rates that offer additional points per night/stay?

Hi All,

If you have got a targeted promotion offering bonus points on stays until the 31st of March and you register for this double points/EQNs as well, as they overlap, would I still earn the double EQNs? What about points - will I get the double points or the bonus points?

Thanks all.

Beware that bookings made prior to registration do not count. From the FAQs:

Registration starts soon. Stay tuned for registration launch! After you register for the promotion, you can earn on stays between February 16, 2021 and April 27, 2021. Stays made prior to registration are not eligible to earn bonus points and elite night credits with this promotion.

Ignore: I read stays as bookings.

You misinterpret. You can book now - no problems.

What you can't do is complete your stay, then register for the promotion and have the double points / elite credit retro-credited.

Does anyone know when one can register for this promotion? I check my App daily and there is no promotion currently available.
Thanks.

Why are you in a hurry when the promo starts just in 1 month?
