Be Our Guest Certificate scam
After having a less than good experience at an Extended Stay America facility outside of Philadelphia, PA, the manager gave me a "Be Our Guest" (a/k/a BOG) certificate entitling me to a free nights stay, at a time of my choosing, as an apology. I've attempted to use this Certificate twice now and discovered that the Certificate is a sham. The company line is that they only have a certain number of rooms available for BOG guests and they always seem to be full on the dates I attempt to book. If you ever book at this chain and they offer you a BOG Certificate as an apology for poor service, DO NOT ACCEPT IT. Contact your credit card company put a dispute/stop payment on the charge. This chain does not does care about their reputations amongst frequent or even infrequent travelers.
