Its like a mileage run where you bought the cheapo ticket and figured out how to NOT be on the plane but still get the miles and (extremely valuable) status. That’s fraud too, even though you paid for the ticket. You are cheating the airline out of something valuable.
Bottom line is this kind of behavior is damaging to those of us who play by the rules.
Man o Man what are you smoking or drinking??
I guess its also wrong if I rent a car for 1 week and drive the 3 miles to where Im staying and not use it till its time to return it. Heck others may now have to pay more for their rental. I guess youd say since I knew all I would be doing is driving it 6 miles in total Im gaming the system.
I bet you that neither the Hotel in the OPs case or rental company in mine could give 2 hoots whats done with their item as long as no illegal activity is done and they are fully paid
