Ask yourself this: what would you do with a fat stack of $1 bills? Er, well, if your first thought was the same as ours and involved G-strings, you could stand to add the cash to your karma bank with the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago's "Take Time to Be Kind" program.

By choosing the package (room rates vary), you'll receive twenty $1 bills in an envelope upon check in.

The envelope comes with twenty ways to use the money to give back to others during your stay: paying for a stranger's cab fare, buying someone a coffee or a newspaper (and no, we don't think strip clubs count, friend). If you want, you can also just go ahead and donate the whole $20 to a good cause.

So, like, let's just say you had that stack of dolla dolla bills and you blew it on two lattes and a pack of cigarettes. Maybe you should get yourself covered by also joining the "Hard Rock, Soft Spot", which promises that $25 of the room rate will be donated to your choice of three charities when you request an available room upgrade.

Not going to lie, though: can you imagine a hotel full of people armed with stacks of money set aside just for doing good deeds for each other? Everyone would be buying each other breakfast and such -- and then Haley Joel Osment would walk onto the scene and it would be just like Pay It Forward, the sequel.
