Citibank "4th night free" perk

Does anyone know that since this is now capped at 4 redemptions a year, if I cancel a reservation where I applied the code, does it still count as a redemption?

If anyone cares - I contacted support and they said if you cancel a reservation where you redeemed the code to contact them so that it can be added back into your quota.

Does anyone have experience with using this for a booking in some else's name? According to the T&C the cardholder needs to be present but I can't see how that can be verified at check in?

What? Surely it’s extremely easily to verify? Most hotels need photo id

I’m not talking about someone checking in under my name, the booking will be in their name so no issues on the ID front.

Question is whether Luxury Escapes / MyCard process the 4th night free discount if the booking is not in the cardholders name and they’re not travelling.

From past experience the hotel doesn't really care who made the prepaid booking as long as the person checking in matches the guest on the booking, hence the question whether the 4th night free is processed in such cases and if it is, how the T&C would be policed.
