Points for Pilots
I remember the same communication and haven't heard a thing since then.
I always give the front desk worker my card. I let the hotel decide if I'll get points or not. I usually wind up with credit for the stay but no points. After so many stays you can earn the different hotel levels.
"But you don't pay for your room" - That is a bogus argument I hear. How many of the people you see in a nice hotel have to pay for their hotel room instead to their company paying?
