I'd actually wish they extended the program to RC. I feel cheated when many RC are available much cheaper (sometimes by hundreds of $) on other sites. The end result is I stay at other chains.

I don't even need the lower price, would be fine if the higher one was just consistently available across the board. It's the uncomfortable feeling of being "punished" for booking directly. RC bean counters might cook up some justification from their perspective but that doesn't work for me, I just stay elsewhere.
