What do you think of this?
This would be SO nice. I always thought that the current system (whether intentional or not) was a great way to reward extra spending at the hotel, even when on an in-eligible rate. Even when on a PL rate, for instance, I've frequently ordered room service or ate at the restaurant in order to get stay/night/promo credit. Without this extra incentive, I would've gone out to eat, or not ordered this or that service from the hotel, itself.
