Michael Barrymore and George Michael often use this trick so beware when you get a knock on your door at 2am

They'll probably think you want to pay part of your bill in cash. Or put it in the tips kitty.

What IS it for anyway?

What is it for?
Maybe the receptionist will turn up at your door at 2am, dressed only in complimentary sauce sachets and gripping a plastic rose between their teeth.

The twenty dollar bill trick is sweeping the travel industry and becoming extremely popular, especially in Las Vegas. When you check into a hotel you simply slip the front desk clerk a $20 bill with your credit card, while asking "Do you have any complimentary upgrades available?". The general rule of thumb is that the front desk clerk will check for upgrades and if they cannot find anything they will return the $20 tip, making it risk free!

its a very cheap way of getting an upgrade.i`m sure in london the clerk would be asking for a lot more to upgrade

isn't $20 = £15? Slip them a tenner and a fiver, and grab a bite to eat with the other fiver
