Examples of preferred in a Sentence

1. Jason Clampet:

   Expedia will have a lot more sway going in with hotels now and saying ‘ give us this preferred position, ’ but hotels can still sell their product on their own. It’s not like a milk company that has to rely on a store to sell the milk for them. They can just sell direct to consumers. And a larger brand like a Hilton or a Starwood or a Marriott has other distribution methods. They’re in a better position to negotiate than they have been before, and they’ve also come up with ways to give consumers incentives to book directly with them.

2. Peter Hotez:

Ordinarily I would have preferred that it be brought down to 60 or even 50, for those Americans who understand its importance, we should make second bivalent boosters available. Finally, we’ll soon need guidance about another annual fall booster. Presumably that information comes sometime this summer.
