If you know anyone that already travels a lot, so maybe they already have that Ambassador Elite status and you can actually have them book the hotel for you and then send a message in the system and say hey, like my friend Dan is going to stay at the hotel and when they check in, as long as you know them, they're going to pay with their credit card. That will be who is going to do it for the incidentals, they just have to tell the front desk to do that. But now they're going to get your benefits, they're going to get your perks and the person on the other end why they want you to do that is because that spend goes towards them.
