What does that mean? Nobody is squatting at the resort or doing anything "unfair". If you don't pay lots of money out of pocket to a hotel...you're taking advantage of the resort?

I'm just wondering if you guys all think when you book a mileage award on an airline, should you also be loading up on extra baggage fees and lots of drinks, etc...to make up for the fact that you're flying "for free" on an award flight? Maybe tip the pilot and crew a few hundred bucks as well.

Can you guys just spend LOTS of extra money at the resort, since you seem willing and able, so the rest of us don't have to. I'm certainly not spending more than I would otherwise, just because my hotel was an award stay. That's complete and utter nonsense.
