that 50 mile limit sucks
i realize you can use a different address but it adds a hassle

most probobly  address on acct as you need to arrange the matched/comped room before, at ck in they just ck you in they aren't checking if the I's are dotted or the T's are crossed

3)no more screen shots to use to back up claim

If you can't use screenshots anymore, then how can you know in advance
if it will be free?
Need to stay, pay, and then find out?
Or, can they tell you/email you the answer in advance?

option 1. you know the rules well enough that you are willing to take the risk.

option 2. if it dosent end up working you can "upgrade" the rate to a 'best flexible rate' and then you cancel (i think it works, dont have personal experiance)

option 3. you do 'best flexible rate'
