Agreed ... very aggravating.

Why on earth would a user NOT opt IN? I can postulate that OT nefariously would like users to not opt in (or forget to opt in) to save OT $$$,

Also, at least historically, if you made a res through the OT link on a restaurant's web page, then you would NOT get points. You had to make the res on the OT web site. Other than saving OT $$$, I've never understood the logic of OT giving zero points for reserving through the restaurant's web page.
