发帖数: 2609 | 1 本来想做吧伸手党，发帖子请教。但可惜没人理。算了，求人不如求己。下面是刚刚调
研的。
Overview:
灵活性：Marriott>IHG>HYATT>Hilton
- Marriott:可以extension one-year
- IHG:可以过期前book，过期后入住。
//按mitbbs网友Rijkaard说法，只能在过期那个月内用(开始就好?)，超出不行。
- Hyatt:有可能可以退少量点数
- Hilton和Hyatt：似乎是必须在过期前入住（甚至checkout)
记得不能光看Term &Conditions。按照TC，Marriott不可以延长，IHG也明确写了必须
stay by expiration date。但实际情况不是这样。所以我下面的不仅有网站自己的
Term更有blog的Data support。
另外，要知道这个东西是可以变得，所以在你看到本贴时，policy也许变紧了，或变松
了。这里只是指导。具体你还是需要自己搜搜最近得例子。别听任何人单方面意见，包
括本贴的。当然，本贴引用的都是2018年后的data point，term就是此刻（as of 2/12
/2019）valid的，所以至少2019上半年应该还适用吧。
Appendix:
======IHG============
Official Term:
"Anniversary Free Night is valid at hotels in the IHG® Rewards Club
Family of Brands and must be redeemed, and stay must be completed, within 12
months from date of issue"
Source: https://www.ihg.com/content/us/en/deals/partner-offers/anniversary-
free-night
Reality(不遵守Term):
"It turns out though that this stated term of the certificate’s validity is
not actually enforced. There are numerous reports of people being able to
book a free night during the certificates period of validity for a stay
after the certificate has expired" Source:https://thepointsguy.com/guide/
maximizing-ihg-rewards-card-for-free-nights/
DP2: Per Rijkaard @MITBBS, "fn会在过期当月的最后一天过期，比如你的fn理论上是
2月5号过期，你可以在ihg.com订到2/28的房间，3/1的就不行了
=======Hilton============
Official Term:
"This certificate expires on the date noted on the voucher or face of the
certificate."
https://hiltonhonors3.hilton.com/en/about/free-night-terms.html
Reality（很遗憾，遵守）
DP1："The stay must be completed by the expiration date. It’s not
enough to just complete the booking prior to expiration.
I don’t know of a way to extend the expiration of a certificate."
https://milenomics.com/2018/09/redeeming-hilton-free-weekend-certificates/
DP2："One final note: these certificates are valid for 12 months from the
date of issue, and you must book and complete the stay prior to the
expiration date printed on the certificate."
https://thepointsguy.com/guide/maximizing-hilton-amex-free-night-
certificates/
========Marriott=============
Official Term：
""
很奇怪，我没找到Marriott的条例，谁能给指指看？这是Term链接：
https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/terms/default.mi
Per 信用卡网站(用的是Amex SPG Luxury卡)：
“The Free Night Award e-certificate will expire after 1 year from issuance.
E-certificates may not be transferred, extended beyond the expiration date,
or re-credited for points.”
Source: https://www.americanexpress.com/us/credit-cards/card-application/
apply/prospect/terms/starwood-preferred-guest-luxury-card/25330-10-0#offer-
terms
Reality（不遵守，而且可以extend。我对Marriott的看法改观了）
DP1: "My wife’s Chase free annual night was supposed to expire today, as we
just couldn’t find a way to use it this year. The agent agreed to extend
it for another year"
Source:http://lazytravelers.net/marriott-rewards-booking-chase-anniversary-night/
DP2: "I had one extended in June, should be possible. "
Source: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marriott-starwood-ritz-carlton-new-
consolidated-program/1935656-marriott-branded-credit-cards-free-night-
certificate-discussion-thread-4.html
======Hyatt=============
Official Terms:
"This Free Night Award is valid for 1 year from date of issuance and must be
redeemed for a reservation with a checkout date before the award expiration
date. "
Source:https://help.hyatt.com/en/faqs/world-of-hyatt/world-of-hyatt-awards.
html#/17
Reality(好像能退点）
DP1:
"Hyatt gave me 15,000 for the Category 1-4 free night which would have
expired."
"I received 20K for my expired cat. 1-7 and 10K for my expired cat. 1-5."
"Hyatt Customer Care has told me that they’ll redeem the Anniversary
Certificate for 10,000 points if you contact them within 90 days of its
expiration. No good trying before it expires. They used to do more points,
but World of Hyatt has changed it. 10K points can help a lot with Hyatt
bookings and certainly justifies the expense of the card."
当然也有意外，而且也有人说有elite status会有帮助，但总之是YMMV
"Just call the World of hyatt, asking for exchange the certificate of
anniversary night which just expired 2 days ago for points, she denied and
stated that they can no longer issue points for expired free night."
