Guh, well at least it should be an educational experience.

An innocent call to Travelodge to confirm a reservation, and I got suckered with a promise of a $40 room discount to join some rewards program called "Travel Advantage". I have a really bad feeling about this. Supposedly I can get my $40 off, and then cancel so as to never pay the $16 monthly fee. Yeah, I bet that's going to be real easy. [fist banging forehead] It's already not worth the discount just thinking about how this is likely to unfold. I IS SO DUM.
