Does anyone have any insight into:
1) Do the Elite Night credits expire - as in do they need to be used by a certain time like a year?
2) Can we combine multiple Elite nights to make a longer stay redemption?
3) Usually Elite Night redemptions have a cap (like hotels with 50K Bonvoy points/night). Any insight about this one?
Thanks so much!
So answer to your question would be yes.
So, I register in this promo, book 2 nights stay paying $500 or so, get 2k bonus points and 4 elite nights. How does it help? I am not a frequent traveler (once a quarter). This thread gives me a feel that I may not be using my annual 15 elite nights credit effectively. Any tips?

Also, if you're an elite using a co-branded CC, this adds between 2-5% (depending on room rate) to your points-back rewards (converted to dollars) - might get you to 20-23% return.
For instance, after tax, I recent payed $534 for two nights after tax. I accumulated 10,480 points for the stay plus and 3204 additional on my CC. With an extra 2k, that would've brought it to about 22% back in points

We did some before Omnicron hit (triple vax) but have slowed it back down - so have my friends in consulting (the power travelers). That's why this promo is actually super valuable for me and my spouse: we're both a year and a a hundred or so nights away from lifetime platinum but since neither of us travels much for work getting the 9th/10th year of platinum is challenging. With a vacation or two, our Amex card elite nights, and this promo, we should make it. I think we're literally going to book a cheap hotel outside of the city (we live in Texas so we're talking $80) - go check in and drive home lol. Between the 1000 points, double night, 500 point check in bonus, and normal 15 points per dollar for platinum (17.5 for me as Titanium) and 6 point per dollar for the Amex gives:
Platinum: 3,180 points for $80 stay
Titanium: 3,380 points for $80 stay
Depending on how you value them, that's $20-$30 in points so I'm paying $30 for one elite night credit, or equivalent to $1500 for platinum elite. While I definitely wouldn't pay that straight up for one year of platinum, we already have some nights from our Bonvoy Amex cards and this is going to push us to lifetime platinum, which I REALLY want to do before they change the requirements due to perennial devaluation/"optimizing". We're not traveling as much and have the platinum benefits (in particular, free breakfast) locked in for life is huge for us.
Nerdwallet says .7 cents, TPG says .8 cents - I find those to be about right. I came from SPG and while they definitely watered down the program a ton, adding in all the random little Marriotts has been good for us. For example, when I stay at a Springhill/Fairfield/Townplace/Residence Inn in the suburbs when visiting family in Texas I feel like I get around 1 cent per point (a $100 night after taxes is typically 10k points).
For me, the real value is when you can stay 5 night to get that 5th night free.

Covid is the cold now, especially if you've been vaccinated. If you haven't gotten it, you will. (and I got OG covid).
How long are you going to hide from the boogeyman?

Elite nights in this sense are used solely for tiers, they are not redeemable for free nights. Your 15 night "credit" is the same thing - just gives you a leg up on achieving status in any given year. They function alot like MQM in airline parlance - not "spendable".
