Hi! For the status challenge, if I’m not mistaken, the 5 nights for Platinum and an additonal 10 night for Diamond (15 nights in total), will need to be paid nights. So I don’t Reward Nights redeemed using points or certificates can count towards the 5 or 15 nights for the purpose of the status challenge.
However, Rewards Nights redeemed using points do count towards the nights needed for the Milestone Rewards.
Hope the information above is accurate and of some help.
Forgive me for not giving the whole picture! These are all PAID for nights so from comments so far it looks as though they will all count
New to Head for Points?
