I use their hotel shops when I am doing a long route. It's better to get the hotel reimbursement in 12 weeks than never, and the fees buy some fuel for the trip. Otherwise, I do not take threi assignments.
Oh, yes, and then there are the accumulating "frequent sleeper" points, which I use for free, higher end, hotel stays to subsidize more shopping routes of vacations. BUT, what shopper can resist adding a route of shops to a vacation? LOL
