- Something else I don't remember - but not breakfast

The guy said they had been offering free breakfast but had to stop it due to this program.

I guess in a way it is a good thing but not so good when it means a downgrade at the property.
I've been staying at a CP every week (Reading, PA) for the last few months and have not heard of this. I would say inconsistency still reigns supreme...some weeks they recognize my RA status (which I know they don't have to) and give me free movie, free drink and appetizer in restaurant, upgrade, and free breakfast. Other weeks is just the upgrade and breakfast. They also have wheel (a la "Wheel of Fortune") at the Front Desk for all PC members (not just elite) offering an opportunity to win a variety of perks (1,000 and 5,000 points are posssible). I feel better off with what this property offers than what's proposed above.
