I agree with you that most likely a repeated guest at property A means nothing to property B. the first example shows how a repeated guest at a certain property ( read: this property) could have advantage over other guests
the second example shows how SW history could be an advantage at any Starwood property. I fully believe that SW history plays important role in deciding who gets what.
the third example shows how personal relationship could be an advantage.
there are countless number of situations to consider
