Not so sure....a HI I frequently stay at told me that the % of guests they have that are platinum are extremely high. This was a response to an upgrade query and they told me that they have so many platinum guests that they have to rotate their upgrades for their regular platinums. (Not sure if that was just them fobbing me off due to the fact that I either book a Travel Agent rate or the 2 for 1 rate!!)

Incidentally. you seem to know your stuff....do the hotel set aside a specific amount of rooms they use for upgrades and once that quota has been met then they do not offer any more upgrades? Or is it just a case of if any higher room are available then they will fill these completely with upgrades if possible??
