My support team is going to kill me. I get sick just thinking about this:

When I checked into the hotel, the desk clerk told me that the Ironman Room Package included a $75 per day credit towards hotel services including the restaurants, spa, mini-bar, etc. My understanding was that any unused funds would be credited back to my credit card. I was thrilled that the expensive hotel would be $75 less per night.

When I checked out this morning I found out the credit was "use it or lose it". That's $375 of prepaid hotel services. Which means thst although the support crew's breakfast was prepaid, they could have splurged. Someone could have gone to the spa for a free pedicure. Or maybe one of the women could have gone in for something.

I take slight comfort in the fact that there was a $75 daily max; they couldn't have enjoyed a free $200 champagne breakfast. And I went to the local supermarket and bought all the food I wanted to eat because I didn't want any nutritional surprises from a hotel restaurant. So I wouldn't have used any good credit for myself. But with a little bit of planning I could given them some nice hotel perks.

Sorry guys.
