Throwing in Bonus Bucks sounds like cheating to me, but I'll give you one of those, too. Last year, I stayed at a Courtyard in Gaithersburg, MD, at a $69 weekend rate that earned a $100 Bonus Bucks certificate. In addition, they failed to give me a Platinum arrival gift, so I got $50 cash from the front desk manager. My net cost for the night was -$81, ignoring taxes.
