In my previous life at a FLOPS, we got our hotel points everywhere we stayed with few exceptions. The exceptions were places that my employer had negotiated the points out of the rates. If or when the frac industry bounces back, I wouldn't be surprised if no points started to become more of the norm.

At a Hilton in Long Island, the manager there absolutely did not like it that most of our pilot group had Hilton Honors Diamond status. A) She didn't think we should have the status in the first place. Not to mention, she denied us free breakfast, Internet, upgraded rooms, executive lounge access and the rest of the perks that even the Gold and Silver guests got. However, our rate wasn't negotiated to exclude the issuing of points. Oh well.
