    I have worked lots of jobs where I had to stay out overnight, I have always either been paid prudem and took care of the expenses or they paid the room and sometimes a meal, but never on any job have I been paid to sleep,nor have I ever expected it.

    How often do you run into a situation where the hotel refuses to take the Corporate Lodging card.

    I never have seen one yet that would not take it. I’m sure a small mom and pop motel won’t take it?

    I've had Corporate Lodging make the reservation for me on a few occasions, only to find out that since the room I reserved was the only room available, they wouldn't take the card and they said they only take the card if they have a bunch of empty rooms. Supply and demand I guess. They want top dollar if the place is packed and they take the card only if they are desperate to fill rooms.

    Yup, why in the winter they are happy to see you and in the summer they treat you like a stinky greasy trucker.
