This. Charging something to the room with a card and number on file does it 90% of the time.
Almost all hotels are franchisees and they set their own rules on giving up the points/credits with group blocks.
Night credits are generally free for the hotel, i.e. they don’t have to pay into the Bonvoy program to give credit for a night.
