I just got backdated credit for 9 nights that the SPG system failed to credit me since March 1st due to this change in policy--sick play.

William,
Does the second room credit count towards promotions ie if you have chosen stay 6 for 3K if you book 2 rooms for 6 nts each would you get 6K?
Thanks

Wow, this is pretty sweet. Definitely is going to make it easier for some people to get to Platinum, but for those of us that travel in large groups/get multiple rooms this is a great addition.

First, this is great news for families who book multiple rooms for kids, grandparents, etc! How would this work for promotions that are based on nights/stays? For example, one of the current "Nice Choice" options is 3x points if you stay 15 nights.
Would three paid rooms booked at the same time for 5 nights be sufficient to meet the 15 night threshold? Or, do these additional rooms somehow count just toward elite status, but not toward promotions?
Thanks!
(Oops, just saw a similar question asked before mine - look forward to an answer!)

No, just for eligible paid-rate reservations. Free Night Awards and Cash & Points Awards would not count in this instance, except for your own room, of course.

Now one more clarification, if you will:
If someone books one room on an eligible paid rate and another as an award or cash+points, does s/he get credited for two nights or one?

How do I get credit?
Hi,
i stay at the Westin Chosun in Seoul every month and usually book at least 2 rooms for myself and a colleague. Last month it was 3 rooms. I have never received credit for more than one room. At the end of the stay, I pay the bill for all rooms with my CC. I should have several stay/night credits due to me under this new policy. How do I go about requesting the missing credits?

^ We sometimes book 2-3 rooms traveling with family. I'll probably barely requal this year so this will be helpful.

2.2 Eligible Charges.

Hmmm, I kind of have mixed views on this policy. It seems to be making Plat (both annual and lifetime) even easier to get...

effective march of this year (2012), members can earn a stay and night credit for maximum of 3 rooms if all the 3 rooms booked under the member's name & are all paid by the member at the time of check-out....all these 3 rooms must also be booked on an eligible rate plan.....
so basically that means that one can get plat status by booking 3 rooms on a 17 night stay....
this has been confirmed by my ambassador & one of the lurkers as well....

This is potentially huge.
