The Destination Fee thing, esp retroactive, esp with no details, esp with inconsistent wording on internet charges, esp with wording in Bonvoy contract for elites wrt “comparable value”, pretty much guarantees they’ll get a class action lawsuit filed against them. So stupid.

So true when so many of the “services” included are so called value added i.e. two waters or two 16oz SBUX Coffees, High speed internet (when its offered by boingo/gogo or even holding a Bonvovy AF cc). Even the Shuttles ate some properties for Disney etc, are not provided by Hotel. Now if it included breakfast or drinks for non-Titanium or WAS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL then that’s a different story but I don’t want to pay $30 +/- for two waters or two coffees.

Free 800-calls ? really? I mainly use the phone in my room for room service, wake up calls, calling other rooms, etc.

Even internet I would rather pay $60 for a month of Google FI 4G HI-speed international Hot-spot data. Not 500 MB of local internet for that “fee” if not covered by Bonvoy card.

On the fence about keeping our Bonvoy cards moving forward.
