Talk about getting bent out of shape over nothing. Geesh.

I seriously doubt most FTers are going to search out hotels offering bonus points solely in hopes the bonus points don't post. Most, if they're looking at properties in an area where they need/want to be, will book a property offering bonus points (if the rate makes sense). If they post as they should, great. If not, then what the OP suggests will probably result in some extra points being thrown their way - ie, his "method".

BTW - we've had a few threads recently where FTers have had to chase down their bonus points because they didn't post properly.

On a dif note. If anyone does happen to be in Leipzig that's a pretty good promo on the bonus points! Usually I see 1,000 or 2,500 bonus point.

Cheers.
