Renaissance in the USA - free Wifi for plat, right?

If 3rd party pays for a stay and you give your MR number in & get benefits, you still get the qualifying elite nights, right?

Thanks from a casual FTer. :)

Yes, as a Plat you should get free Wi-Fi at Rens.

As for whether you will get the points or not when someone else is paying, the answer is it depends. In general, you will still probably get the nights/points credits, but technically, if someone else is paying you aren't supposed to. I would suggest "assuming" you won't get the points/nights and if they show up? Great, consider it a bonus.

It depends on how they're paying. If it's part of a Master Account for a group stay, you're less likely to get nights and points. If it's just charged to their credit card (or perhaps company account, I'm less familiar with those) you will probably get credit.
