Anybody have issues checking in here without the person whom the room is booked under? ( Adding the person that wants to check in as a secondary of course)

I had that once in a Marriot in Prague. It was my brothers reservation and i was added on and they said that at some point during my stay they will need his passport. So I said hes coming soon and then just never checked out of the hotel.

1. How about combining this with a reservation that I made (i.e., combining my certificates with someone else's?)
2. If you cancel a free night cert do you get points back or the cert back? My 3 night stay confirmation at the WA (2 from certificate 1 from points) says I paid 240k points... Can I cancel and then get the 5th night free w a 4 night redemption?
