standby upgrade on a points booking
If the upgrade is successful, does it turn the night into a qualifying night for the purposes of promotions, or will it be seen as a points + cash night ?

I would suggest that you bring a copy of the eStandby upgrade offer with you. I had a recent award stay at the Radison Blu Agra India where I chose a business class room eStandby upgrade, and they had no idea what I was talking about. I brought a copy of my award stay confirmation, but didn't think I needed a copy of the eStandby that I accepted, which amounted to only about $12 USD. I ended up getting a complimentary upgrade to a business class room, but they would not allow me any of the benefits (lounge, breakfast, etc.), which would have been worth much more than the cost of the upgrade.
