Generally speaking one would just call in and say that they needed the smallest meeting space available for business purposes for say 60 minutes. If they question how many people just say a very small number - possibly one. And let them know you saw the promotion about the EQNs - that bit should be in your meeting contract. But dont tell them you are trying to just 'buy' EQNs. make it sound legit. if possible go to the 'meeting' and play on your phone for half an hour.

at your own risk of course
