Combine Award Nights
My wife and I each will have 3 award nights from the new boundless card. We would like to stay 1 week at a cat 6. Will we be able to get the 5th night free and use the 6 nights for the week?
Also, we don't have the nights in our accounts yet, but will soon. Can we book the room in advance (e,g, points advance) with the expectation that we will pay for the nights when the awards post?

You can book each night individually, and then apply the credit card certificates later.
Points Advance doesn't lock in the price though, so beware of hotels that can move to peak pricing and stop you from using 35k or 50k certificates.

You can ask agent to leave note to make sure you and your spouse has the same trip and do not want to move during your stay. Fewer bookings will make this much easier than having a total of six bookings.

Yes, it usually works if you try again an hour or two later.
