The agent noticed that the daily rate was now cheaper by ~$20usd a day so she dropped the rate, and upgraded it to a suite with the 6k points.

i just did it for 4 nights at the GH Hong Kong -- incredible value indeed given a fantastic view and how great the Grand Club is at that hotel.
i've also used it on some corporate rates (which can be quite a good deal at some properties).
Does this mean the suite upgrade using points benefit can potentially be applied with our company's corp codes? If this is the case, then this benefit's value just increased in my book.
