Well depends on your risk-taking approach. Sure it sounds like only an $89 gamble - but how embarassing would it be to 1) be caught out 2) to arrive to your hotel half way around the world only to be told to pay Rack rates or have no room and 3) to have your record noted as attempted to StarHOT rate when not eligible. It wouldnt be nice if your file is now noted as jamesgbbc; platinum preferred guest *aka dodgy starhot rate user*
