I am taking my real life experience (and that of many) and looking to DL to solve the problem that drove part of my business away. What is wrong with that?
Not to sound elitist (and there is no way not to with this), but some things are meant to not be affordable to everyone. That is why they are exclusive. If not, the Ritz Carlton would be competing at 39.00 a night with Motel 6. Exclusivity can be good. I think DL has taken the BE product way up over the last couple of years, and I hope they keep it exclusive so they can keep improving it.
