I don't get what the first option has over the second. The second has no limit, plus effectively the same amount of points after 6 stays. Am I missing something?

Do any of these bonuses work for award stays, not cash?

Depends on too many factors, not least, what are you paying for rooms.

But nothing great anyway.

I know I asked before, and the answer was no,
but, has there been cases in the past where award stays mistakenly counted for these promos?

Does anyone know if "2nd stay" can mean two rooms on one night, or two consecutive nights?

I doubt I'll be staying two separate times, but I may book two rooms for a few nights in a row. I'd rather not have to check out in between.
