Wrong again. He indicated that he had used
his MR membership number; he implied that his wife had used her MR number.
It is true that his wife had used
his negotiated rate code -- whether that is against the rules is between his employer and Marriott. Inasmuch as Big LAr was in the room, I am not at all sure that it was against the rules for use of that negotiated rate.
You are correct, that I will correct you when you are wrong -- like I have done, again, above.
Given your reading comprehension and retention, it is a wonder that you graduated medical school and became licensed to practice.
So, next time you want to take a swipe at the legal profession, you should first look in your own backyard -- or
gluteus maximus.
However, I do agree with his (drdtk) sentiment, Chobby, because I became quite bored reading your post -- and I never even finished it.
Sorry, but I don't buy your argument that a priceline rate was likely more than his negotiated rate -- it probably was quite less, but that is neither here, nor there, for I -- as well as the other posters who took you to task for showing no dignity -- were commenting on your desire to stay 14 days checking in and checking out
while using a rock botton Priceline rate.
I have used Priceline, occasion, and more power to those who wish to use it and get a good rate. However, I do believe it to be unseemly in the way you set up the "hypothetical." Right.
In any event, you can drone on if you wish -- I do not care as I believe that you are only digging your hole that much deeper.
I do, however, agree with you that what you intended to do was entirely legitimate and within the rules of the program, whereas what Big Lar had done was push the envelope to an extent that I would not have done. Unfortunately, I also believe that you lowered youself by chasing after too much of a good thing -- in one stay. I have no problem with your doing that over time on a weekly basis. But, day in and day out for 14 days is, IMHO, unseemly.
