And that's the different strokes for different folks thing. To me the weakest part is not receiving points for ALL spend at ALL brands. It's ridiculous that some brands (including pricey RCs) only earn points on rooms & not incidental spend, especially when those brands have venues (restaurants, bars, bistros & in the case of RCs spas) where spend is spent/charged to the room. I get the 3rd party thing such as some parking, but for spend that isn't 3rd party/is being spent at the property, it should earn points. But that's a discussion for a different thread since this one is primarily focused on breakfast.

Cheers.
