It was stealing anyway. A little theft flew under the radar. A big public heist? Not so much.
Starwood usually honors mistake rates like the Phoenician (eg Westin Times Sqaure). Avis? Hard to imagine. And
free?
I thought it was interesting which bloggers posted the Avis deal, and which ones didn't. I'd love to know why the ones that didn't made that choice, but some reasons could really have upped my respect for them, such as because there was no way Avis was going to honor it so they chose not to work their readers up into a frenzy for traffic. Of course some of the blogs that
did post it might not have been savvy enough to realize it was Fool's Gold.
