future discount granted
I understand this to mean that the client will be given a rebate (discount) in the form of free accomodation in a/the hotel ('free hotel nights') at some future date in proportion to the amount the client spends on accommadation (the expenses) in the hotel or chain of hotels, probably over a defined period. So the answer is that the client ultimately pays only part of the regular price, **averaged over the 'regular' and 'free' nights** (the same idea as airline frequent flyer plans).

a refund (partial or full)
depending on the actual hotel expenses... If the expenses exceed the value of the rebate then usually the client has to pay the difference. This is how I understand this

Honestly, I don\'t think the meaning is very clear here..., so your sentence is subject to interpretation.... If I were you I would check with the client, if possible.

how i read it
If an employee/guest of ABC company will be staying at the hotels which have an agreement with ABC company and that person will spend a certain amount for the hotel accomodations, that person can get a free night(s) stay either at the same or another "dedicated" hotel; either adding this night to the current stay or use it during the next visit(s).
But the client always pays :-))

: Seems like the scheme where your hotel accomodation is free at specific hotels/hotel chains where you eat (and pay for) your breakfast and dinner at the hotel.
