Some of these responses make it sound like this was his initial intention. I think that he just registered like he always does annually, and then opted to save $500.00 or whatever going for a room down the way (like both he, and I opted for in Vegas).
Just wanted to throw in my  . Jim is a good guy and I think he's being generalized unfairly. |
He may not have had the initial intention to do so but it does encourage others to consider it especially if he is successful at it. I do really dislike the idea just because of how damn hard it is to come by a room anyways and in my case it would of been mandatory.
I know a few years ago I did resell my room for a small profit when I had to cancel. I just never added my own value. I made a thread with the notice and asked for best offer - starting at what it cost me and set a fast timeline on it (like 1 day I think). If I recall I ended up letting it go for a tiny bit over transfer fee's and that honestly what I was most interested in covering.
This year when I had to cancel I figured I would just call the hotel and let them give to next in line (which would of been fair) but well the deadline already past to cancel and they said they would charge me the 1 nights stay if I did cancel (yet I know it would be booked in moments - sort of sleazy of them). Asked if I could transfer it and then did so with first person to respond at cost.
