Every single hotel I have been to already requires your ID and records your information at check in. In fact, it is required by pretty much all city laws in the US.

I also would not want to stay in a hotel that does not require it.

Even in countries where recording guest ID is a legal requirement, it can often be circumvented.

The rewards programs use your information to market to you, and sometimes third parties. Terms and conditions vary. As always, consult a lawyer before clicking accept on any EULA.

Of course they do. Grocery stores, airlines, car rentals, hotel brands, retail stores, everyone has a rewards program for a discount and they all have my info.

So far I do not receive any junk mail other than credit card offers, which I take advantage of for the bonus.
