The idea is when you walk upto the hotel check-in counter you hand them your ID/credit card with a $20 bill underneath it or folded inside it, and ask if there are any complimentary room upgrades. It's apparantly rife in Vegas and is also done in New York and Atlanta, with alot of success.
Has anyone on the HT forums had any experience with it?
I'm a tad concerned I'll get knocked back and embarrassment sweeps across every inch of my body, but I'll probably just ask if they have any rooms with a view because the hotel I'm staying in is pretty dingy and I imagine the upgrade suite isn't all that.
