This would simplify things for all of us--the guests, the hotels themselves, and Bonvoy. If this results in hotels paying a few more dollars to Bonvoy to pay for those points, then just add those few dollars to the price of the service--it would be worth it to me.
Exactly. This is what the point system should be based on. Anything you can charge to your room you get points.

We are not supposed to play Sherlock Holmes just to find out what yields ponies it not. I know the easiest is not to care - I don't have a gold mine and I only travel in my own dime so I do care about the points very much.
