That reads as bribe, thinly disguised as gratitude -- and I expect
that, aside from that most obtuse host, that's how it's received.
Still, it sets you aside from average schmo who extends their palm
without any consideration at all.
I'm of a conviction that, with a host who has the discretion to get
you premium benefits, style and grace will take you further than cash.
And when it comes to showing gratitude in hindsight (vs. a palmed
c-note at the time of the request), I prefer a well selected gift
where feasible.
When a LV host took the time to email a photo of a bouquet I had sent
from a distinctive florist, I knew I'd scored a home run.
