Agree, mostly. Except that it
would be nice to be assigned a room that recognizes status, instead of it being solely according to rate paid (such as AAA, LPGA or GEICO), meaning the worst in the house -- and I am not smelly or nasty when checking in. And I know for a fact that the latter is policy, that motel's or Choice-wide. (I do receive good room assignments at the motels where I am a regular, though.)
Now, as to another take on the OP's thread title - and why I first came to this thread - I've been getting offers of free songs. Not a bad thing, just a new experience.
