SA1, yeah, the way I do it is that I book the room on my account, then add them to the reservation. That way they can check in, and I don't have to be there. They still get my benefits.

@A1 they're spending a few days in Dubai and then heading to Cape Town. Hope they get upgraded there as well

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
