[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Mr. Twin Star et al, there are enough legends out there to establish that rewards points users are treated as second class citizens. Starting with not earning points for point redeemed travel, reward point users have to accept "things" that confronted Mr. Twin Star. It would seem perfectly reasonable to include a 24 hour layover at Portland (meals and lodging at passenger's own expense), but they have their rules - and I'd dare say that as liberal as I've learned Amtrak is with redemption of points towards Sleeper travel, Amtrak beats out the airlines. I have friends who say they can't recall when they last paid for an airline ticket - and they fly all the time (never mind I don't think she knows what a dry cleaners is - only knows what Goodwill Industries is and big time. Also they seem to redecorate the home "from the cellar to the dome" about every five years). But I've heard them tell me about reward point itineraries on United of KORD-KRNO routed KORD-KMSN-KSUX-KDEN on a puddle jumper; thence (sigh) KDEN-KRNO nonstop on "real" United. Come on, United is certainly in the nonstop KORD-KRNO market. I signed up for Guest Rewards simply "to be one of the boys" around here. If they offered a "donate" option (as the airlines do), I'd bite in a heartbeat and have those 13780 "thingies" off to a good cause. So far as hotel plans, I'm in four of 'em, but the only rewards, based on my completed and planned 26 nights away from home this year, seems to be one night each from Marriott and Holiday Inn. Who knows when I'll see something from Westin and Hyatt - believe you me, I'm hardly loosing sleep over such. [/QB][/QUOTE]
