"lost out" - Online I could book a room w/ breakfast for 149 dollars, group sales offered me the same room, no breakfast, for 179 dollars. When I pointed out that the group rate was higher than then single-room rate online, they said "we can't help that, I guess you should book online."
If that's the way group sales works, I'd rather miss out on the points than miss out on 30 dollars per room + breakfast.
