I stayed at the beautiful Shanghai Pudong Ritz Carlton for a few times already. Previously as a lowly Gold, I was not expecting much of a recognition. My most recent stay for three nights there as a Plat, I boldly asked what kind of benefits would they offer a Plat member - do you offer room upgrades - no; do you offer free breakfast - no; do you offer club access - no; do you offer dining discount- no. Finally, the clerk smilingly offered me points, as if it was a huge benefit for Plat. A big thank you for being a Plat.
