"The complimentary fourth night is available with eligible three consecutive paid nights." sounds like award booking wont qualify

Supply and demand... No reason to pay commission when people will buy for you without it.

true , altho i think when commission is offered ppl are more interested/ make a bigger effort to buy ( or attempt to) as opposed to when there is no commission.

I have Marriott platinum elite, got status matched to diamond TR and was offered the royal, will be able to double dip and now  use my Marriott status to get a room upgrade or a comped room doesn’t get Marriott status benefits?

anyone have the answer to this? or maybe as an alternative- did anyone try booking first night with points, in order to get mt benefits, and was able to ask the hotel to combine reservations?

How come? If I look at the domes hotel now it's 60k a night. Shouldn't I be allowed to book hotels worth up to 60k?

unfortunately not 
looks like it was discussed/confirmed here- https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=93644.75
