My strategy is to mention to the reservation rep that my wife and I are celebrating an anniversary (perhaps the 3rd anniversary of our toaster oven purchase?) and mention the anniversary celebration at check-in as I kiss my wife, hold her hand, etc. I've always ended up with a big room with a killer view and I still have the $20 in my wallet.

And you didn't tip the concierge? Now the next time someone tells that same concierge info like that, he'll remember you and may not bend over backwards as much to give extra service. Stiffing someone who goes the extra mile hurts us all in the end.
