😁😂

Now the loophole is only for creditcard holders 😁 but its funny no one calls it a loophole when people get 30 nights from just having credit cards 😁 and yes its a bitter tone in my voice as those CC nights are not available to most of the world thus creating quite a biased system IMO

not everyone who held meetings did so at 50$ meetings, those were NOT very common to find, more of a urban Legend then the norm in my experience.

I held a few meetings myself when the locations suited me but I never did find those unicorn 50$ places people raved about 😂
