Monaco's post was not about comping status. It was about giving out promo codes that were given to CO Gold and Plat members, and to AA Plat and EXP members. If you didn't earn it, you are not eligible for it. If you want a comp, go to the program and show them WHY you should be comped. If you can justify it, you'll get it. But what I see going on here is a group of occassional travellers trying to get something that they haven't earned.

Got Starwood elite? Then call HHonors, I'm sure that they'll comp you. You can show them that you can provide them with a lot of revenue. But do you have the right to use the promo code others have EARNED? I disagree. It dilutes the value of the program, and makes it harder for those of us who have EARNED the perks to USE the perks. Just what us road warriors want, one of you "once a year" travellers, scamming a code to get into an Elite program, and then getting the last room upgrade...

Oh, and thanks for the tip, I think I will contact HHonors and let them know that the promos are being passed around on here!
