I get a preferential rate at a hotel I've stayed at before (and have a current booking for)
The prevailing best advanced purchase rate is about $40USD more per night
Given this room will be for 5 guests - I think I might need to sweettalk the hotel direct! Not sure it is going to work putting someone else as a guest given that is the strategy
As mentioned - I am not interested in the points, and if the rules simply meant that I didn't get points/status - but they got the rate I'd be happy!
