Can you expand on this? I just had this issue and was told a whole bunch of things that are different than what's been discussed here on FT by the front desk person:

1. that it was $50.
2. that while points were assigned, even if I wasn't asked...too bad.
3. at this particular property, that screwed up repeatedly over a week's time, that I had already gotten other compensations, so....again, too bad.

When should we inform of not being offered our platinum arrival gift? Next day? End of stay? After check-in process?
