wow, thanks for all that info. When I travel for business, my company puts the room on the corporate account. That makes up most of my stays, but I will be sure to do this on personal hotel stays.

I kick myself for a few long hotel stays a few years back that I didn't even credit to a program. I didn't know I could being I wasn't paying for the reservations. oh well. At least I'm on my way now. Fun stuff
