And if this one was, the Marriott Corp would not have even been aware that this group had booked the space there. Details matter.

Really? White supremacy vs. staying at one of a thousand possible hotels on your vacation? Scrivener7 Feb 2022 #4

He's using points. Which cost Marriot money. So, no. GoneOffShore Feb 2022 #50

So, It's OK RobinA Feb 2022 #75

With respect to federal law, yes it is OK. Local law may vary for businesses refusing Scrivener7 Feb 2022 #82

this is a joke, right? Skittles Feb 2022 #5

how about not saying anything then Skittles Feb 2022 #17

Of course. A HERETIC I AM Feb 2022 #21

So what good does not using points do? Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2022 #23

So do we know that the Marriot in Europe is connected to Orlando? Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2022 #24

Yeah we know. live love laugh Feb 2022 #45

Sorry, missed the part on there about whether Orlando is a franchise. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 2022 #64

Hope you have a wonderful trip. A European vacation is on my bucket list. n/t Tess49 Feb 2022 #37

Lol, ok! USALiberal Feb 2022 #39

no.just dont use the mini bar Demovictory9 Feb 2022 #47

Those things are ALWAYS too expensive anyway. DFW Feb 2022 #54

recently grabbed a diet coke from the mini fridge, purchased one later and replaced it the same day Demovictory9 Feb 2022 #56

Many of those things are controlled by computers and sensors. DFW Feb 2022 #60

I think I have used items out of a mini bar maybe 4 times in my entire life. A HERETIC I AM Feb 2022 #81

Go right ahead, and feel no guilt. DFW Feb 2022 #53

So you're OK with giving money to companies whose policies you find disgusting? Scrivener7 Feb 2022 #12

If he's using points for a free stay, he's not giving them money. tblue37 Feb 2022 #16

I find most companies policies repugnant rpannier Feb 2022 #28
