A few answers to questions:

- Why Post This Here? I made sure not to expose the identity of the person I referenced and this is an issue that comes up every few months on FT.

- Why Miles? This is all about exploiting programs to earn miles/points in a dishonest method.

- Is $0 the same as a low price (i.e. $20/nt)?
No it is not. It's reasonable to conclude that a hotel/casino/resort is offering some type of promo in the 20's - but not $0.

I understand what people have said about hotels running promos and airline contracts - however if they contact you to make a correction and even make you a reasonable offer, I think it's wrong to hold them hostage. Just my view.
