Not that it is really anything but a very trivial issue but the thing I find consumer unfriendly about the $100US credit conversion is not just the fact that despite the $A falling a lot over the last 18 months or so it remains the same, but the fact that they use a different (more accurate) rate reflecting the lower value of the local currency when converting for points etc. They are also pretty hit and miss with the prive amenity which I only seem to get around every second stay.

Checking in today I noticed that Mr. Walker is now featured on the key cards - hope he is getting royalties (at a suitable exchange rate)!
