I'm assuming that is tongue-in-cheek.

I have a lot of friends who have had no problem doing C&P for hotel stays, even at high volume times (booked way in advance). Although as BB says, hotels get screwed at high volume times because C&P is set at certain rate & hotel could get more. Heck, if hotel is 90%+ on award stays they get close to rack rate, but not for C&P stays.

FWIW - C&P is more complicated at front desk level to do, as they have to basically create 2 reservations (one for the cash part/one for the points).

Cheers.
