^very true, but depending on hotel at least he’d get lounge access/breakfast/internet

Just add his name to the reservation (last name won’t matter you can add anyone to the reservation) by calling the hotel

Some hotels are trying to crack down on this.

I was staying with my sister at the Sheraton Downtown LA and my flight was delayed, so my sister checked in first. They refused to give her lounge/breakfast benefits until I checked in even though her name was on the reservation, so buyer beware.

Question regarding travel points. When you travel to a client site for your firm, are you required to charge the hotel to your firms corporate card? If you do, how would you get the travel points and rewards? Wouldn’t you have to charge it to a personal credit card and then properly expense it through your firm?
