Given that people will often spend the BOGO on the most expensive room / best hotel / best time of year combination they can, that's quite a hit they're expecting properties to take.
If it's true, that's definitely a big "ouch" for places like Amstel.
Would explain IC Hong Kong's avariciousness with upgrades and BOGO usage.
I haven't asked any further, I was quite surprised to get this much of information from her, but she said there was no direct (monetary) compensation for BOGOs like there is for award nights.
