Who is responsible for discounts?

The reason we ask to see the card is to verify expiry and that names match. Cant have someone borrow uncles card. That has happened.

That's your privilege. Apparently that extra few bucks is very important to your business model. The guy down the street must be less profit constrained.

I guess I appreciate the hotels that cheerfully want to help me save a very few bucks, instead of looking for any reason to get out of the discount.

I'm sure there are folks who go around just saying they are XXX members. If your bottom line is so thin that you feel you have to weed those out, then I guess you'll need to card everyone. It's the only way to be sure.

We see verifying eligibility for a discount as being responsible to the guests who qualify. Good Sam members paid for their membership so why should someone who didn't pay get the benefit? We offer an active duty discount in respect for those who are serving in the military, it would be disrespectful to those service members to offer it to someone who wasn't in the service. Or, to quote the old American Express commercial: "Membership has it's privileges."
