Not so sure about that... as some of us have limited options for hotels. For those that are city dwellers in their travels, this would give a somewhat unfair advantage, where many places I am traveling, I am limited to FI / CY .. .and if I'm lucky, SH / RI

That's my two cents. Maybe a spend-based promotion wouldn't be a bad thing, as this would reward the big spenders, as well as those that just plain stay a lot of nights at cheaper properties in the places where the buses don't run as frequently (this is me). A spend based promotion gives everyone an equal opportunity, and though some people spend way more than others, I only have my own spending as a reference point, and would likely be happy with something like this.
