A worker at a Trump branded hotel was a little too excited to earn credit card rewards, and it ultimately caused him to be arrested (thanks to View from the Wing for flagging this).
So, what happened, exactly? Around June 10, 2026, hotel management launched an investigation, after finding irregularities involving guest payment transactions.
The investigation determined that guests paid for their rooms and other services in cash, and then the front desk agent would void or modify those transactions, and then instead process the payment with his own credit card. He conducted this scheme on multiple occasions, and the hotel incurred total losses of just over $3,100 as a result of this.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
