Homey I wish the answer was as simple as you make it out to be. Gold members have been having problems getting upgrades and breakfast certs LOOOONG before the current promotions. In fact I would probably attribute any increased obstinence on the hotels' part on the popularity Flyertalk. I for one did not know that the upgrades were actually owed to us until I started visting this board , but I sure make it a point to insist of late. I can remember many stays when I did get ugrades I actually thought the particular proporty was being really nice to me, but there were so many more that I did not get even a bottle of water it makes me mad.
