2) Mrs. PhlyingRPh is at home with my little angels so the companion ticket is of no use to me.
3) I dont drink, so the free bottles of wine don't help much.
4) Whenever I have called Amenity, I have been very disappointed with their
service. For starters, the agents seem, well, amateurish. I have never
been asked for my membership number when calling in.

Example: I am looking for a hotel close to the Orlando Conv. Ctr for three nights starting Dec 6th. Nothing! So I called Amenity on the off chance that they could swing something. I was told that because there was nothing available he could not help me and hung up fairly rapidly. No offer of additional assistance, no bright ideas, no "THanks for calling", no "Is there anything else I can help you with?" I guess I got what I paid for ($10)! Has anyone had a good experience using Amenity (apart from RCC passes)?.
The correct spelling of the company's name is "Ameniti" with an "i" rather than a "y" on the end. Perhaps you did a search and it came up empty because of the misspelling?

Anyhow, for $10 a lot of us have bought three months' time in which to find out if Ameniti is useful or not. The RCC passes alone are worth that. If you don't like wine, you can get beer instead. Or you can give the wine or beer as a host gift or even a Christmas gift.
