Yes! How do you handle legitimacy? Why wouldn't we always say its our honeymoon or wedding anniversary to score free perks? I ask because recently I bought a 12 night cruise for our honeymoon, and the cruise agent told us that they had no way to verify and if they gave us preference then all passengers would ask for this. She said it in much nicer words though.

BTW, omni's site claims its a "botique luxuries hotel". Your customer won't know the difference, that's my second point here.

I do think you're onto something though. Gut feeling.

Legitimacy will be our biggest hurdle, but we will be screening the offers as well (at least during the beta phase). Even if the person is not being entirely honest about what they are booking for, the hotels are making the decision in the end to respond to any open offers.

Your hurdle might become your best friend, I think. When only a select few can do something, based on some criteria, that makes it so much more desirable for those who can't (yet). Then I would be dreaming of getting married to get a honeymoon package! :-)
