Well we typically have a limit for all food expensed. While trivial, I'd rather expense an extra $5 on a nice dinner than a bowl of cereal and OJ that would be free at a FS Marriott or even a Spring Hill.
This should be interesting after Starwood's announcement that they will provide free continental breakfast to Golds/Plats. Although it seems to be a bit of a ploy because golds have to pick breakfast, bonus points, or free internet. Plat seems to be the same.
Now if they gave me a choice, I'd pick points every time.
