I have searched this topic quite a bit but haven't really come up with anything substantial. I am just curious as to if anyone on here has received a room upgrade for being Platinum when they book off an opaque site, such as Priceline. The reason I ask is I will be at the Crowne Plaza Hollywood Beach Resort in early April for four nights. I am hoping maybe I'll get lucky and a score a room upgrade due to my Platinum status, despite the fact I booked off PL. I kinda think the hotel won't be that full either as they just reduced their advance purchase rates from $236.00/nt to $154/nt. That is a pretty steep cut to try and fill some rooms.

Thanks so much.
