Free Continental Breakfast Or Bust
-
You've seen, over the years, a lot of articles about people who fly extra flights just to get frequent flyer credit and attain and retain gold and platinum status. Same thing, apparently, goes for hotels -- people will check into and right out of a hotel just to get the credit to get to the higher loyalty program level and get or keep perks like free internet and breakfast, concierge level rooms, free fitness center, that kind of thing. I travel a lot for business and I tend to be right on that line for one chain's loyalty program, but I'm not made of money and it's not worth it to me to spend a hundred or two hundred bucks just to go from silver to gold or whatever.
