Award booking 5th night free
If I attempt to book a 14 night award booking at Four Points Sheraton Bangkok, night 5 and 10 are free.
But if I attempt to do the same for the Westin or SGS, there are no free nights.
Isn't the promotion honored at all Category 4-7 hotels?

What are you getting, for what dates? I put in 10/1/18-10/2/18 and then 10/1/18-10/15/18 for all three.
4PT - 1 night 7,000, 14 nights 84,000 (12*7K)
Westin - 1 night 10,000 14 nights 120,000 (12*10K)
SGS - 1 night 10,000 14 nights 120,000 (12*10K)
all seems right for me.

14 nights starting 8/30/2018 and checking out 9/13/2018.
OK, now I get the same as you. Not sure what happened before.
Thanks.

Would there be merit in booking such a stay as a 15 night stay (with 3 nights free, instead of 2) to earn, for example, an extra nights credit, extra Green Choice points ... ?

But, yeah, book the extra free night and take the status credit...

Wouldn't the hotel most likely check you out early when they notice the room vacant (unless you make an arrangement with them in advance)?

I've done this in Dubai (Grosvenor House). Stayed 4 nights but booked for 5. At check-out, I asked the hotel to ensure that I would get credit for 5 nights. No problem.

Just be aware of the possibility that you are leaving a room empty on a sold-out night, leaving another traveler without an option to stay there.
