That said, an argument can be made that if your hotel tab is large enough, that off-sets the "not gambling" because you still get points based on what you've spent. So if your hotel tab is $500 at the end of your vacation, you use your built-up $100 credits toward the balance, then the $400 gets charged to your credit card and you get $400 converted to tier points and put toward your account tier level. So your ADT for that day is $400.
Of course, if I"m wrong, I hope someone will correct me or elaborate more on this notion!
This used to be true, but sadly, CET has found yet another way to screw us. They now count CHECK OUT DAY as a gambling day whether or not you use points. So, if you stay two nights your play will be divided by three.
This is another way for them to give us less because our ADT/MDV will be lower and as a result, our offers will be lower.
