Simultaneous nights at SPG
« on: February 20, 2014, 03:05:56 PM »
I plan on booking multiple rooms under multiple bookings for pesach in SPG hotels.  Will each night and each booking count as a seperate stay/night even though they are all happening concurrently.

So if I book 3 simultaneous 9 day stays will i get 3 stays and 27 night credits or 1 stay and 9 nights?

SPG also gives credit on award stays, what does one program have to do with the other?

acutally -- I believe that you can book each day and each room with another booking,
You may not get the 5th night free (or you might!), however, you may get all 27 stays, too (in addition to 27 nights' credit) - automatic Platinum!

You won't get 5th night free if the are booked as separate reservations.

True, so it may cost the points of an extra room as you will not get the 5th night free, however, the extra nights this year may get you platinum status for next year.
I've found that with plat status, it often saves a room with every stay, (if you need one for the adults and one for the children)
because the upgraded suites (at "W", Westin, etc..) usually include another room (with either a sofa bed or another bedroom, plus living room with sofa)
so that stay costs only the points/price of one room, yet, it's often similar to 2 sep hotel rooms.

This is for pesach.  I booked a room for one friend already and some other friends asked me to possibly book also.  If I can book a total of 6 stays for pesach that will be enough to get me to platinum after accounting for the 10 days i got from my amex cards.

That's for multiple bookings at the same hotel (is that the situation here?). If it's at multiple hotels, will you still get credit?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

If it's in different cities you might get credit and an audit to boot.

Are those 10 days all in the same person's name?

(bec IIRC, the spg points CAN be exchanged within same address, however the nights and/or stays cannot.)
