Even our meeting contracts give us kick backs, sometimes of up to 25-30% back on top of our corporate discount.
As mentioned up-thread, this is my beef with being locked into the corporate contracts. Staying within budget is considered in my personal bonus calculation. I could stay somewhere for $150 or somewhere for $175, with the company ultimately getting back $40 for that stay. Even though the second room ultimately costs the company less, my budget is hit for the full initial cost and never credited with the rebate. On top of that, we are hit for a booking fee each time we use the corporate booking tool.
