更新規則後，帳戶持有人可以先在線上預訂飯店，之後再聯繫萬豪客服，更改入住人的姓名，就能完成 Gift。注意，必須聯繫萬豪官方客服，而不是直接聯繫預訂的飯店。這其實是個很好的改動，畢竟大家應該都體驗過打電話給客服、口頭報飯店和日期的麻煩；現在先在線上找好房，再改名字，方便多了。
此外，這個 Gift award 每年仍然是五次，沒有變化。我猜想，聯繫當地飯店加上 second guest 的做法，應該不會計入這五次。我的建議是，在大中華區以外，都可以用加 second guest 的方式入住，一般那些地區通常不太會管。如果是在大中華區，還是老老實實使用萬豪提供的 gift award，直接訂在實際入住人名下，才能順利入住。因為在國內查驗時，通常會要求兩位 guest 都在場才能辦理入住並提供證件。
這是新的條款
When booking a Gifted Award Redemption Stay reservation, a Member must provide to Member Support their Membership Number and name, as well as the name of the person who will be staying at the Participating Property (the recipient) . Both names and the Member’s Membership Number must be provided to Member Support at time of booking the Gifted Award Redemption Stay. If a Member makes an Award Redemption Stay reservation first, they must contact Member Support to then add the recipient’s name.They cannot contact the Participating Property to add the recipient name.
這是原本的條款，明確寫了不能先訂、再聯繫客服
When booking a Gifted Award Redemption Stay reservation, a Member must provide to Member Support their Membership Number and name, as well as the name of the person who will be staying at the Participating Property (the recipient) . Both names and the Member’s Membership Number must be provided to Member Support at time of booking the Gifted Award Redemption Stay and cannot be modified once booked. A Member cannot make an Award Redemption Stay reservation first and then contact Member Support or the Participating Property directly to gift or otherwise transfer the Award Redemption Stay to another person. If a Member needs to make a change to an Award Redemption Stay reservation, the reservation will need to be cancelled and a new reservation booked (if available) through Member Support, and the Member is responsible for the changes to the Points or cash, as applicable, required to book a new reservation.
