Previously the company gave us nothing, now we get something.

If this new thing results in people sleeping in airports, couch surfing, etc., that's on the gross individuals, not the company (don't think it will). I wouldn't double up to save $25 either. My privacy is worth that.

Usually we complain when a company takes something away or implements a crappy non-optional policy. This is optional and can give us cash. I don't understand the complaints.

I think the complaints are more geared towards that now the company has an excuse for not updating some of the hotel choices. In which most (not all) are horrendous. I kind of think of it as a band-aid rather than fixing one of the problems which is ****ty hotels. Some of which make us pay for a cab if it's late enough and the hotel shuttle isn't running.
