I guess the hotels already forgot about that.
Agreed. It is amazing how quickly we went from being the most valued customer to the least almost overnight.

I'm glad you said that. I was wondering why points weren't showing up.

I was already a fan of Bonvoy before working here and as it turns out a vast majority of our overnights are Bonvoy properties here at NK. Awesome.

We absolutely have some hotels here that take your number and credit a stay and small amount of points. I care way more about the stay personally.

I got the AMEX Bonvoy card a couple years ago. I always put it on file and charge a drink or some food to it. This has definitely caused some other hotels to credit me with a stay (and I automatically get the points for what I bought (at 6x cuz of my CC).

My card starts the year out with 25 night stays. I commute, but only need 12-15 a year. I’d say another 10 personal travel. So that puts me around 50ish. I just hit Titanium at 75 nights this year for the first time. So I’ve gotten a solid 25-30 nights at work this year while
overnighting. YMMV.

And many cargo operators.....both 135 and 121. Same for rental car points/credits...
Yeah...not everybody is stuck riding the shuttle, and abandoned at the hotel!
It's a QOL thing....$$ might be good at many "airlines" but having a life beyond the hotel shuttles on a layover is kinda great!
