We seem to be getting fewer points since we outsourced our hotels department. We used to have internal hotels and ground transportation. We outsourced that to a company owned by former execs. So we get points at some hotels, but we aren't collecting them at many of the places we frequent most often. I'd say I'm getting about 1/3 of the points I was collecting 5 years ago. So hotel points are a perk, but I wouldn't factor hotel points into your decision to come or not come to work with us.
The upshot is our hotels seem to be averaging to a decent level. So our union, company and subcontractor seem to have figured out a decent way to make things work. We'll complain about some things, but we're not in places like the 5 Towns anymore.
