Assuming that 2008 will see free dining, what happens if your stay is from 9/24 to 10/1 and free dining ends on 9/27? Do you get free dining for four days and start paying on the fifth day, or can't you get it at all?
No, you get the free dining for your entire stay, even if the program ends while you are there, as long as you check in on/before the day it ends
I remember some posters saying they were checking in on the final day of free dining for a 10 night stay, and so they had the free dining clear into October!
