Bill Question
Ok, so maybe this isn't about the rewards program...but I figured repeat marriott stayers would know the answer to my question.
Does anyone know if adult movie titles are shown on the bill at the Courtyard in downtown Philly when they are ordered?

It shows up on the bill as a movie, without being specificied as an adult movie.

I think most if not all of adult movies are also priced 1$ higher (13.95?) than normal movies.

I think that PPV movies were originally $4.95, back in the days of the first generation Spectravision box (the one with the dial). Of course, with a little creative rewiring, they were much more affordable.

Yes, I remember those days very well. In most hotels, if you simply screwed the cable directly into the TV, instead of going through the Spectravision box, you could see everything for free. And the hotel couldn't tell you did anything, provided you put everything back the way you found it. Some hotels put protective sleeves over the cable connectors, but they were easily defeated.
Too bad the current systems are too smart for such tricks!
