Greg and Nick explain the complexities of coordinating free night certificates when traveling with a partner ('player two'). They note that if certificates expire at different times, it can make planning trips difficult, especially for booking in advance or using multiple certificates for one trip.
“And same thing even more with if you have a player two or even player three and player four where each, you know, different people within the household that travel together have free night certificates.”
“If you have this situation where they're expiring at different times, it just becomes so difficult to plan a trip where you're using multiple of these certificates because it's like, okay, I'm ready to book now, um, for a trip that's six months from now, but, you know, my certificate will work, but my wife's is going to expire a month before our trip.”
“Yeah, we ran into exactly that situation this summer because we wanted a hotel on the Amalfi coast and I had a certificate from, I don't know, one of the Hilton cards that I have and and it was going to be fine to use that certificate. But my wife, she wasn't going to get her new certificate from her Aspire card until May.”
