i really do....i think the main reason for this is that the majority of my stays are in asia....also, when i book a standard suite, i almost always get an upgrade to a better suite....

no need to ask for forgiveness but the fact is really simple, if you really want somethig then pay for it....that may annoy you but that's how things work....please remember that this is one benefit of many that the program offers....what annoys me more is when someone posts 'a suite is available online but i was not upgraded to one'....how do these people know if the suite is a standard suite????hardly any of them bother to check this fact out....
