no matter the rate posted here; why would a hotel want to participate in the rewards portion (other than they have too) if the amount paid is pretty much useless and can't cover costs of having a guest in that room? factor in vacation places like Hawaii and it must be a total loss for the hotel?

why is that? as long as the GM's name and hotel isn't posted.. what is the problem with posting the info?
