Let's call a spade a spade. In reality, on in rare circumstances are Exec floors or business floors actual upgrades, about 95% of the time the rooms are the same you're just on a different supposedly exclusive floor.

As for Deluxe and Deluxe plus, sometimes that just means higher floors or have deluxe bathroom amenities. To be honest, until I get a suite it's not an UG (yes I know suites are not a benefit for upgrades).
