It's so easy to sneak into a hotel pool?

Sure.

In many places all you need is to get past the hotel entrance because no one is checking at the pool.

Well, once they asked at the WAJ entrance to see my key card before letting me in. Have been turned away from DC before as well.

Good!

However, not the norm in many places nor at all times in those places.

Always later in the evening. Also, the restaurants were closed at the time.

What happened to the non-guests?

My point was that they don't always check.

If they did, this whole thing would not happen.

Do 4 night AXON rewards have to be consecutive nights?
I would like to book Wed, Thur, Sun and Mon using AXON and Fri and Sat using weekend certs.
Is that possible?

Dan did this when he was here, if I understood correctly this isn't easy to do.

No, I used the weekends certs on a weekday to accommodate 5th night free.

[Theodorel]

No, I used the weekends certs on a weekday to accommodate 5th night free.

Care to share?

[coralsnake]

No, I used the weekends certs on a weekday to accommodate 5th night free.

But haven't we established since then that 5th night free comes even when one of the 4 is via a cert?

How does that work?

[coralsnake]

How does that work?

No personal experience by IIRC someone mentioned doing it. Maybe it's policy or maybe it's because the cert is booked as points? (TimT?)

But in your case- when the cert was one of the 5 nights, you were still being charged for the 5th?

It wasn't. I used 320K points+2 certs to stay for 7 nights.

Was it hard to get them to allow that?
Because thats exactly what I want to do once I get the rest of my points.

How does that work?

When you get the 5th night free what they really do is discount all 5 nights by 20%, which is 64k per night.
When you are using certs they just don't charge the 64k for the cert nights, so it devalues the certs a little.
