Costs very little for them and could pay them back as a show of good will, customer appreciation, etc. Be prepared for a gentle rejection but hey, why not try? Just as long as it's an earnest request and doesn't seem you're trying to be sneaky or entitled or demanding. I've had success with few-point deposits with a few other brands.
Thanks for the tip! I will try it as a last resort.
