Former FBI special agent Tom Simon, who spent 26 years investigating financial crimes and national-security matters across the U.S., says he has a straightforward philosophy when it comes to business travel: the people who deserve recognition the least often get it the most, while those who deserve it most are routinely overlooked. And so, through much practice, Simon says he's developed a trick to getting some of the best rooms in any hotel, which he calls a "gift" for frequent travelers.
