You need to speak to your corporate travel department..... maybe spending a little less is costing you (and your company) a lot more than you are saving.
Where have you stayed...??? It would be nice to post actual names so others can benefit from your experiences and not make the same "mistake".
Given the current arbitrage options, its hard to justify your usage of plastic... and you could be staying at an SPG property for a very similar rate.
I suggest you use less energy in ranting and more in using the tools you have out there to make better use of your budget and help you get better rest during the evenings.
