i say that a b&b who offers two rooms free for vets and both are taken ... if they decide to offer a half off price for a vet it is THEIR promotion and nothing to do with the b&b's for vets. will the vet understand? hard to say. will they think it was a bait and switch? hard to say. can you prevent a b&b from doing this? no.
not to discourage a b&b from participating, but this must be very clear to the vets, to the public, and to the b&b. anything other than a free stay on the specified date is a private promotion ...
a b&b who insists on a BOGO is NOT participating in the program. this is a private promotion of that b&b riding on the coat tails of a very generous program. and just not appropriate.
this should be clearly stated on the b&b for vets website.
you know it was bound to happen
just as you know that some potential guests will ask to stay a dfferent nite instead or will want two nites for free not just one. have spoken to a married couple, both vets, who want to reserve 2 free rooms and then bring another couple along and switch partners so they get two free rooms. i told them NO NO NO ... they know it's not right.
etcetera .....
