I own a company. I have frequently rented 2 or 3 rooms in the hotel for the same time frame. I have my name on the room, and I pay for the room. The front desk is notified as to whom the guest will in fact be.
I have always gotten days and stays for these rentals. Whether legal or not, the computers do not seem to notice the difference.

Slawecki, that's not quite what I meant. Most hotel loyalty programs will let you get credit for a number (like up to 6 or so) of simultaneous rooms to encourage hosting small meetings. This is generally specifically included in their rules.
I was curious about the apparently unnecessary situation where one was, in reality, trying to get elite stay credit in two or more programs simultaneously.

During the last three years I have been doing two week stints at a Hilton Garden Inn. Several times, on the weekend I was checked into the hotel, I would take a side trip elsewhere and check into another Hilton (the Waldorf=Astoria once) or other hotel chain while retaining my Garden Inn room. I never had any problems getting credit for both rooms, even when they were both Hiltons. I also never had any problems having two Avis cars rented at the sametime in different cities during some of these trips.
