When you book hotels online
InternetClara and I booked a hotel for the Singapore arm of our recent trip through a well-known travel site. These were the emails I got, in chronological order:
- Confirmation for Booking ID
$NUMBER
- Confirmation for Booking ID
$NUMBER
- Would you recommend
$HOTEL
to a friend? - Would you recommend
$HOTEL
to a friend? - Would you recommend
$HOTEL
to a friend? - Your stay at
$HOTEL
- Would you recommend
$HOTEL
to a friend? [ed: chill, people!] - Reminder: Reminder - Your stay at
$HOTEL
I’ve since been opted in to a bunch more stuff from this travel site. Why would I want junk mail about other places I could stay in a city I just left?
Contrast with the email I got from booking a hotel in Kuala Lumpur directly:
- Reservation Confirmed
- Thank You !
