I don't see the benefit. Either way you have to go to the first desk and check in... all they do is have your keys ready which might take them 30 extra seconds otherwise. They still ask for ID and credit card.

Now if they were able to add a key swipe mechanism to our status cards so we can avoid going to the front desk all together that'd be great!!

I'm only wondering because I keep getting emails about mobile check in and they make it sound like a big deal... I just don't see it.
