If BW wouldn't charge you for a plastic card and would just email you a card you could reload during promos instead of having to have codes emailed to you it seems like that would help a lot.

There is only one BW property in the US I will stay at and I just use the emailed codes there. Something I found out that helps, at least at that property is at check in to give the clerk the email and ask them to charge the cards off when they aren't busy. With me I never have any incidentials so they know the exact total. That really helps.

Costco sells Hyatt paper gift certificates at a discount and I used those in May. Hyatt was able to process 12 of those in a matter of 2 minutes. If hyatt can do it that fast BW should be able to
