Stay credit: I'm honestly not sure if they'll get the night credit or not. I've only ever heard it asked if you get the night credit and the general answer to that one is "not officially, and usually not but sometimes you do".

For the 10% points refund: T&C don't say. I'm relatively confident that you'd get the 10% points refunded back to you. I don't see that there's any way that the family member would get those points since they didn't spend them.

AFAIK no one gets stay credit for Guest of Honor while if there's a 10% refund of points, it would go to you (the account owner) not "they" as GOH guests don't even need to be WOH members.

Note that to get stay credit, one must both STAY and PAY. In this case, you're paying and they're staying.

Last year, I got the points rebate for GoH bookings I made for others. I assume it'll be that way this year also.

The Guest of Honor receives the night credits, not the booker.

I would expect the 10% points refund to go to the booker's account.

If the GoH is family member, we may be able to add the GoH name as secondary and booker receives night credit.

That would be cheating.

If you say so. If I originally booked a stay with my son. If I can't make it and he makes it, is this cheating??

Yes. The reservation should reflect the people who actually stay. Hopefully the front desk will ask for *you* to show photo ID.

I do not think this is the case. Hotel reservation transfer happens all the time and hotels are fine with most of them. This is how some of the hotel reservation resellers (Roomer and Cancelon) work. Some hotels may have problems with it. It can be a case by case.

Again, you can disagree on agree....

No, it's the case. Otherwise, Globalists could basically operate as travel agents.
