Just got a call for a graduation weekend, toward the end of the call when I asked for her cc details (she stayed here two years ago) was told she has a gift card.
I have all past guest info in my system and as I was telling her we are not members of bandb.com I read my notes and saw that two years ago she handed me the gift card at check out (YES The notes say guest handed me the gift card at check out without any prior notice!) AFTER obtaining all the discounts I had on offer.
She said a moment ago "Well you are IN THE BOOK!" I said, we are not members, and quite a few who do belong to that B&B directory do not accept gift cards as they take a very high commission. She said she has had these gift cards for a few years now. Well that is the good news, I told her, they don't expire!
ALWAYS THE WAY PEOPLE!
ONE NIGHTERS - I would only take two nights that weekend (I am no sure what part of the planet BandB.com says the avg stay is like 3 or 4 nights, but it has never been here, not in my experience) we have a two night min.
So what we get are a) one nighters, b) want all online discounts, repeat guest and college fam discounts, c) use the card since someone gave it to them at check out or check in whenever they have to pay.
