2) The hotel catches on more quickly & closes the loopholes
3) Abuse - I wonder how many people make reservations just to get the room & then no-show? Or how many people just take advantage of it, just to take advantage of it.
4) FatWallet Effect as noted above...
That said, people will do what they'll do - sometimes it helps the greater good, sometimes it doesn't...
This is where a bit of netiquette will come into play. I'm giving people the benefit of the doubt that they won't abuse the system, and use these only for what they truly need.
