While BKKLEE can be rude , I didn't really take his response on this one that way. The question has come up before & he did provide the information you requested.

BTW - search works somewhat wonky on FT. Sometimes it brings up the info & sometimes it doesn't. Heck, I've done searches on threads I created when I need to go back & get some info & it doesn't bring them up, which is quite irritating. But sometimes people don't bother w/ a search & just ask the question because they don't want to take the time to do the search, yet want others to take their time to respond. I see both sides on this one.

Years ago (when I was a Silver), I stayed at Grosvenor Square (not to be confused w/ Grosvenor House). GS 'upsells' upgrades for non-elites. I took them up on it and did get points for the upgrade fee, but did not get night credit.

Cheers.
