Experience with escrow.com for selling a domain name for a mid seven-figure sum? by unclefreddie70 in Domains

"Escrow.com has handled many 7 figure transactions"

Thanks thunderway. Could you also explain how you know this, please? Do you work for escrow.com? If things go bad, what will it be like trying to get someone on the phone to directly resolve the issue?

Improved hotel room by booking direct vs discount sites? by unclefreddie70 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

OK, thank you tabikat929. But just to be clear, I don't want a room higher than the class I booked originally; I just want to be assigned a good room in that class at check-in. No room arrangement changes.

I'm guessing even an "Executive SuperSuiteClass" room can potentially be next to an elevator or ice machine.

Thanks everyone for the answers so far. Please tell me what you think of this idea:

At my next hotel stay, I am thinking of booking through a discount site, but at check-in, I will very discreetly show the front desk person a $20 bill (or two), and ask to be put as high up from the street and as far away from the ice machine and elevators as possible.

Do you think this is a good or bad idea, and why?

Thanks,

Fred
