In addition to simplicity and not giving extra work to our overworked organizers, I think it also only fair that if Mr XYZ backs out of attending, a person who placed himself on the proper waiting list should have priority over another who merely knows Mr XYZ. (I am not an organizer and I am not saying there will be a formal waiting list, but I hope you get the spirit of my argument.)

I booked the Hotel and used FLY in the Group Code, received the $79 rate, however nowhere on the reservation does it mention the Chicago Do or anything related to it. Just says the following: "ANYONE CAN BOOK RESERVATIONS RATE OF 79 INCLUDES ONE BREAKFAST VOUCHER PER ROOM RATE OF"
Do I need to call the hotel to verify?

Everyone remember to bring your notebooks/legal pads/something to take notes on. Pens, too. You WILL take notes, and unless you're a brilliant typist on smartphone/iPad you won't keep up, and the rooms are not really set up to have laptops (and who'd want a laptop heating up your lap all day long anyway with no table). Some folks traded for some really good stuff to get a notebook last year

My reservation Doesn't say "Rate Type: Chicago Seminar Do-F", after I entered FLY and then was prompted to sign into my Priority Club Account, it looks like it might of dropped the Rate Type for some reason. I guess I'll call and see if they can do anything.

Follow-up: when I plug my reservation into the HI system it does in fact show "points to be earned", so I have no idea why it said "0 points, non-qualifying stay" on the confirmation page right after booking ??
