Although others have touched upon this in postings, I'd also like to hear if others have seen noticeable differences in upgrades offered between Gold and Platinum. I haven't noticed any difference at Marriotts, but I generally stay at cookie-cutter ones that probably don't really have different room grades other than standard or concierge.

Has anyone had luck getting suite upgrades? My only one was a bump up to a Junior Suite at the Renaissance Mayflower when I was Gold.
