Someone's going to have to explain to me how this business model works. What is paying for the extra points/miles/credits that you are proposing to give away? Are you buying in rooms in bulk, or aligning yourself with something similar where you agree to take a certain number of rooms? 25% cash back sounds very unlikely to me give the margins that hotel rooms trade at (on a RevPAR basis). I guess I'm questioning the real value (of these points) and the value proposition of the business.
