LOL re: CY brand identity. Pray tell what the CY brand identity is. . It was started as Marriott's solution for biz travel, and is now eclipsed by other chains' properties which offer the same if not more in the same price range - Hilton Garden Inn comes to mind.

CY int'l properties are, for the most part, nicer than the US properties. So there's some brand inconsistency even w/in Marriott.

And I've seen CY prices that aren't that cheap, especially during the week, and will rival FS Marriotts. Speaking only for myself, I've never really thought of CY as 'economical' per se. And putting it in the same category as a FFI is an apples to oranges. Doubt you're going to see any FFIs w/ room service or restaurants attached . So yes I'd like to see CYs offer points for incidentals.

OVMV. Cheers.
