It would make sense that this is one of the places where marketers have figured out that people who will pay more for one thing might pay more for another.

Exactly. People who are willing to spend the money on a Mac probably wouldn't be happy with a dank, bedbug-infested $39.95 / night hotel room, so why market that to them?

Just imagine what Orbitz could do if they knew the make, model, and year of car their customers were traveling in? People driving 10 year old TDIs would probably get the opposite treatment that Mac owners do. smiley
