William, I received an invitation to become a Corporate Preferred member. As I am already a Gold member I wasn't going to sign up as it looks like I'm better off where I am now.
However, one thing caught my interest. In the list of benefits it said "Upgrade to the best available room". I checked the terms and conditions and couldn't find anything that spoke to this. Is this like a Gold upgrade or is it like the Platinum best available room. The term is rather vague and as it isn't further defined in the Terms one could believe that a suite qualified as best available.
Thanks</font>
Corporate Preferred gets the same upgrade as a Gold member - to a Preferred Room. Platinum Preferred gets best available room, including select standard suites. All subject to availability at check-in.
You might want to get your company's SET number attached to your account, but keep your Gold level account. While it may not give you the best rates all the time, it can save you some money when only RACK rate is being sold otherwise. It can also come in handy if your company is ever targeted for a company-wide promotion.
Sincerely,
