I am curious how this would work for getting an upgrade. I suppose that an upgrade could be pre-assigned. I know that getting an upgrade to a suite is not an included elite benefit, but occasionally a very nice front desk clerk will give a suite upgrade. I'd be willing to bet that with a kiosk check-in, chances for a suite would diminish greatly. I wonder if this does get implemented, will Hilton offer bonus points for using the kiosks?
