Shut up if you’re a platinum AMEX. I know that American Express fax hotels to announce your grand arrival as a VIP douchebag 🐼🐥🐳. This post is for everyone else that isn’t paying the $550 annual fee* This article is for everyone who shops hotel rates before plopping down hundreds of dollars for one night.
Problem: hotels get sketchy when you’re trying to check into a room you booked at a low rate on a third party site.
Solution: Real world insurance, #cs183RWI
Context: I tried to check into palazzo. I booked the Memorial Day room for $150 on Expedia. Palazzo had their rooms going for $499.

Hotels are dirty revenue-climbing whores-who can blame them!? But I book a backup bc collecting on a prepaid room isn’t a layup #cs183rwi

If you’re booking housing, #SXSW, #SB52 #FyreFestival, tech conference, #SDCC2017 or otherwise, I recommend booking a backup!!! #cs183rwi pic.twitter.com/KnL629wgMP

Best example of real world insurance is booking a back up Las Vegas hotel room in case your primary bed gets soaked #cs183RWI #purpleBear pic.twitter.com/kaf2HAMVZP

Housing. At popular tech conferences, getting a hotel room is often an issue.
