The 20 Dollar Sandwich Trick

"If you’ve not heard of the 20 Dollar Sandwich Trick before, it’s essentially a way to get a "complimentary" upgrade when staying in a hotel... Why is it called a "sandwich" you ask? Well, it’s because you slip in a $20 bill (or whatever other denomination you choose) between your driver’s license and credit card at check-in. The check-in clerk can either offer you an upgrade and keep said cash, they can say there’s nothing available and return the cash, or they can check, still find nothing and keep the loot. So, you have a one in three shot of losing the cash and getting nothing."
