Walking a Platinum is extremely expensive....GM's HATE seeing how much those free night vouchers cost per voucher...and when you have to give out 2 PLUS a check it and pay for a room somewhere else it gets really really expensive very quickly (so technically yes there is no "getting in trouble" for walking a platinum but there certainly is "getting in trouble for having a high walk expense")
