Until you book again at that hotel chain or third party agent like Priceline and never receive another email again right? I like the premise but the details seem like they would cause more trouble than the solution solves.

Same thing happened with me twice.

Long time ago I setup workflowy.com to send me emails of daily changes; gmail filter to mark as read, apply label, archive & forward to Trello board. So twice I forgot the password, asked password reset link; & it is not coming to my inbox; because that filter was auto reading & archiving it.

This would be true, but in practice I sign up with a brand new email address each time.

I am certainly missing out on loyalty / reward points, but I don’t travel often enough for it to matter.
