miles for multiple reservations
So I am pretty certain of the answer but have not done it before and thought of asking the masters.
So I am participating in the Glad Slam, and I need to have hotel hits. I have an upcoming LNF rate in NYC Manhattan midtown marriott for $103 for 3 nights. Will I get 3 batches of miles for 3 separate nights?
If I break the res. in 3 separate reservations I would have to checkin, checkout every day. Marriott will see this as one stay, but would the mileage be submitted only once or three times at each checkout date?
I am thinking if separate reservations then 3 separate mileage credits, but not sure... thoughts?

Of course there is a chance the property will mess it up, BUT, one or more consecutive nights at the same property, regardless of the number of check ins/check outs, counts as one stay.
Now if you could change properties for the second night, going back to the first property for the third would get you 3 stays.

well marriott counts three separate reservations as one stay, per T&C.
That is why I do mattress run to get those Cat4 vouchers.
So question really is, are 3 separate reservations in the same hotel going to post miles separately or just one bunch of miles upon checkout? I know marriott's system will count this as ONE stay since it will count as one for the megabonus this fall. Thoughts?
I wish I could change the properties thought. next lowest LNF is $150 more.

good to know. So yes I am going to credit to US for their grand slam, and you are saying that even if I have reservations separately I would receive only one credit to US...
This is definitely good to know. Now off to find another hotel in NYC...
