Say I'm checking in the hotel, and some other guy used his elite plus card for the booking (if I have another guy with me, I tell him to stay away from the reception at this time), I will pretend that the elite plus guy is also staying in the room, but is coming from a different flight, and has not arrived yet.
This should do it.
We can come up with the all ways we want that we feel should work, but they dont always do so.
A friend was heading to Kawaii with 2 nights in HNL on the way back. She wanted to stay at the Hilton Vacation Village since another friend with their kids were
I made the res using my name and hers gave her my Amex HH CC and she felt all she had to do was tell them her husband will be flying in from LA to meet them later taht night.
She was Refused all the Diamond benefits including Upgrade.Lounge access, and free breakfast and was told that once her husband arrives they will more then switch rooms etc etc but till then sorry Nothing.
The reason the last names werent the same was simple she told them for Professional reasons she kept her maiden name. She went back to them a couple of times when she saw someone else was at the desk, no go whatsoever. Of cause my flight was cancelled due to weather so I missed the connecting flight to HNL.
It also happened a couple of times at City locations. doesnt it always not work, nope but then again its not Fail Safe either. As longa s you dont go with a Yamulka and try it or as long as they wont know you are Jewish , no problem trying to do it. But if you look Religious or your wife does, IMO, Its NOT worth the possible Hillil HaShem to grab a couple of nice beenies. it will cost you way too much in the end thats even if they give it to You, as all you need is 1 person to say or think, get aload of those Jews always trying to find a way to get things that arent coming to them.
Now why isnt said or thought when a Goy does it, you got me but ask yourself is it worth it if a HH is done, if you feel its worth it then do it. Ive stopped giving out my CCs and Elite Cards to anyone else
