Pilot141,
Maybe you can try to understand that there's negotiation between FedEx and the various hotel chains that we stay at, and the pure and simple fact is that although it seems like a no-brainer for points (and free stays), the price that FedEx pays for rooms, coupled with the fact that there are all sorts of problems associated with housing guys who primarily sleep during the daytime, might cause said hotel chains to balk at giving away points. And then again, maybe you can't understand that.
