Okay since you asked...
What makes a rental car clerk upgrade you from compact to standard for half the cost online or even for free?
What makes a first class ticket upgrade only $200 when checking-in at a self service kiosk when the online price was $500 more at time of purchase?
What makes the hotel desk clerk offer you breakfast at check-in for only 9 Euro but will cost 17 Euro the next morning in person?
Why do they make an announcement that they are over booked and are offering a $200 voucher to anyone willing to give up their seat...but when you tell them you will do it for a $300 voucher and a hotel room, they say ok?
The moral to all of this and much more...it never hurts to ask.
