Say, if an academic program has already registered for my hotel stay and paid for it.

Then can I count the nights I've spent in the hotel for a hotel awards program?



Best Answer

I was in a very similar situation with a Marriott group hotel a few years ago in Portland where I was not paying for the hotel, but a conference was (through an educational program). I did attach my number to the hotel room, but did not earn points or "nights stayed" credits. I reported it and ended up receiving credit for one night, but didn't ever get any points. They told me that even though my number was attached to the stay, it didn't matter since I didn't pay.
