I had the choice of two programs, both were the same price
FHR

FSPP
-upgrade at time of check in on availability (highest priority)
-full American breakfast, including room service
I called the hotel. They offered 2pm check out (which was all I needed) with FSPP, and confirmed that there was a higher upgrade priority, and a better breakfast with FSPP. That's why I switched to FSPP. <snip>
Actually, many things satisfy me, just not hyperbole and declarative statements such as, "The FSPP benefits at FS GerogeV were superior to Centurion benefits" without any supporting information, context, or data supporting how and why you arrived at that conclusion until it's pulled out of you post by post.
So, let's recap, you started out with "FSPP benefits ... were superior to Centurion benefits" and now we are at:
- Upgrade. Only difference appears to be priority, not category. So, unless there was one, and only one upgrade available by the time you checked in, this may or may not have made any material difference in the outcome of the game. It's quite likely that booked via Cent FHR, you may very well have ended up in the exact same room.
- Breakfast. As pointed out by
stimpy it's highly unlikely that you would not have received the exact same breakfast via Cent FHR that you received via FSPP.
- Late checkout. Not a listed benefit via FSPP, but given 2 PM. FHR 4 PM.
- Unique amenity. FSPP $100 Spa Credit. FHR: 85 EUR Spa Credit (at current exchange rate approx. $115 USD)
- Price. Same price either program.

Well, when carrying a credit card with a $5000 "initiation fee" and a $2500 annual fee, it seems to me it might indeed be worth "investigating further" to understand the value you are or are not getting from said card, but obviously YMMV.
I'm neither trying to be antagonistic, nor difficult, but you made a bold hit and run statement, and I simply don't see the actual facts supporting that statement.
Does anyone else believe the facts as they are coming out, support the statement that "The FSPP benefits at FS GerogeV were superior to Centurion benefits."?

P.S. Full disclosure I don't even have a Centurion! Just looking for the
facts.
