See, that's the thing-- The technology certainly exists but few if any hotels seem to employ it!

I would expect that, among other information displayed on the FD clerk's screen when I check in, would be a list of my past stays at that hotel. Then I'd get greetings like, "Welcome back, Mr. Bimmer. We appreciate your return business. Would you like a room on the 11th floor overlooking the lake like last time?"

But instead I get lame, perfunctory "Welcome back" greetings even at hotels I'm visiting for the first time ever.
