In a hotel, slide the folded up $20 or whatever along with your credit card.

Does this work without an accompanying 1-liner? What if the dude at the front desk is confused, and assumes for some weird reason, you want to pay for $20 of the room in cash?
Also... $20?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Didn't that work in like 1970?

Simply ask "Would it be possible to get a nice room/higher floor/whatever you specifically want?" while sliding the card over.
Re: $20, it really depends on what kind of upgrade you are looking for and how long you are staying. If you have a week long stay, you could try $50 or $100 and nicely ask if they have any deluxe rooms or suites available. Desk clerks actually have quite a bit of autonomy in terms of room assignment.
