Cargo airlines and hotel points.

Specifically, pilots keeping the points. When Boeing or Honeywell reps hit the road for business, their companies pay a reduced rate for their rooms like the airlines do. Yet, they keep the points and the credit for the stays. Hapeen at FedEx, UPS or others?

Asked and answered; sometimes is still the answer. We were supposed to get them after our last contract was signed but it appears that a company like Fedex does not have the pull to make it happen with any regularity. I am sure they gave it their best.

Thx. I get the picture on the direct bill. You'd think revenue is revenue.

Not hardly. I just had a stay at a Holiday Inn Express (non company related.) I was told I wouldn't get points because the room was paid through a third party, Expedia. Obviously, some revenue is better than others.

That's just it, revenue isn't isn't always revenue. If you're paying the rack rate, the hotel will gladly give you some points. The hotel prices the cost of the points into the room charge, However if the company (or a broker like Expedia) has beat the hotel down on their rate, somethings got to give.
