Hi LovetoTravel83,
I'm afraid that's not possible.
You only get nights and stays credited for up to three rooms, while having to physically stay in one of them.That would mean a max. of three nights credit of you are just staying for one night.
All the best,

However, if you are speaking of applying all 25 nights of this stay towards the 10K kicker bonus, then no...you would only get one night applied towards that since it is the only one that falls within the promotion period.

My bad. Thanks for clarifying.

Not bad for me. Most of my hotels included: Sheraton Macau, Le Meridien Xiaojing Bay, all my Thailand properties. Not much luck in Hong Kong with all the Design Hotels excluded and the Sheraton. Interestingly, W Guangzhou is included but Sheraton and Westin not so. The W is a bit more expensive but not prohibitively so and it has a lounge with booze and an excellent spa area so no agonising where I stay next time I'm up there. I'm happy that most/all the hotels in Sanya are included as this is near the top of my list for a weekend break.

I have a reservation starting today, Sept 11 (the day prior to the promo window), checking out Sept 13. Since part of my stay is within the window, will it count for the promo?

I always think of MAGC points as being like getting the welcome amenity points for every night of a multinight stay where applicable. This promo effectively triples the welcome amenity points on one night stays and doubles them (using my own mental translation to put MAGC and welcome amenity points into the same category) on a two night stay.

The timing of this promo was annoying because it started the day after my stay in Toronto. I left it as an award night instead.
